So any over fifty on this forum, well you might want to read this cuz you might not be healthy enough to own guns…. Just saying. Can anyone say; Age discrimination.
So to the old farts out their what are your thoughts.
Armed and Aging: As Older Americans Own the Most Guns, Should They Face More Gun Controls?
Suicide, dementia and physical failings are at issue.
"Should Rights Outweigh Risks?
Still, some aren't as comfortable with the idea of so many older adults owning guns, considering certain risk factors that can accompany aging, such as increasing dementia with aging or the high suicide rate among older males (see sidebar)."
"So much of the dialogue around guns in this country has been around crime, and lately, mass shootings. And the older population is not part of that. But when you look at the suicide issue, it's impossible to ignore older Americans," Frattaroli said. "With that in mind, any conversation about guns has to include a conversation [about] gun ownership among older adults. There's definitely more to be done on that issue in the United States."
Armed and Aging: As Older Americans Own the Most Guns, Should They Face More Gun Controls?
That's not a good thought you have. If you have a sane stable mind, you keep your guns. You never know when you might need them to protect yourself or others. Unless you're unable to use them if you have to, physically. Otherwise, keep them.Unfortunately, this is a reality for me. Personally, I have no problem with my loved ones taking the guns when the time comes. I despise the idea of some stranger/govt schmuck taking them.
You're just speaking common sense. Shame on you.Sadly, the anti-gun government does not make laws against criminals. The tax paying, law-abiding citizen that would fight for this country is the one whom this government is penalizing and oppressing. I wouldn't be concerned about older, senile and crotchety old farts shooting themselves. When I mentioned Idaho having open/concealed carry without a permit required, the old high school classmate said to me, now there will be more crazy nuts running around with guns. Wait a minute, let's consider the school shooter, the military base shooter, the armed criminal that are not tax paying members of society, not members of the NRA nor have they taken the carry and shooting classes available in every town across the country. They do not contribute to the strength of the nation but rather interrupt and interfere with the awesome quality of life that we can have here. The government is as criminal as they are. They are not interested in keeping America strong and free. They want to control people and property and wealth. The only way they can do that is disarming. They want civil unrest so they can justify taking away firearms. Articles as this one even questioning a law-abiding citizens sanity or rationale to have a gun should not be published to create doubt about the people who have kept America free. The criminals should be the ones who we should be questioning. Why are they given "life" with all the benefits a working man can't afford after they kill, rape, steal and destroy Americans' lives? This government prefers to provide for criminals more than it does for the citizens who pay their wages. Let's ask questions such as, why do the victims of gun toting criminals have to put up with the intimidating accusations and criticisms of the prosecutors or criminal defense lawyers while it is unfair to offend the criminal by presenting the facts of their character and behavior? My guns, what will be left of them, will go to my kids. At almost 70, I've exercised more restraint in the face of suspects than most people do and have been extremely quick to keep the potentially dangerous situations safe and nobody was hurt; in some instances, they didn't even know I drew on them and tucked it out of sight when realizing who they were or what they were doing. Forgetful, spacey, sick, lame, lazy and partially crazy; perhaps. But, unsafe or a dangerous threat with a gun? Why would you think so? I didn't vote for this administration...
True, true, but do it anyway.76 next month. I'm thinking about giving myself a motorcycle for my birthday. Wouldn't be my first, but it has been quite a few years. Obviously, I'm mentally unstable.
You've got a good point there. Isn't it disgustingly ironic that the left wants to "protect" old people from committing suicide (by gun), but have no regard for an unborn baby?More and more rights are being taken away from people. The only people that truly see this are old people. Some day we will be the new China, people there have no right, just work and shut the hell up! Hey, if an old person wants to commit suicide, it's his body. No body should have the right to dictate how long an old person has to put up with this world. I'm old, and if i get fed up, I'll take my little NAA .22 magnum revolver and goodby!

Have you had Cancer?
Met an 80 y.o hard-core Harley rider in the badlands years ago. Only got to talking to him because of the unique leathers he was wearing. Wouldn't have known he was 80 either, had he not mentioned it. Some things keep you young.76 next month. I'm thinking about giving myself a motorcycle for my birthday.

Unborn babies aren't part of the agenda, besides the unborn don't own guns...You've got a good point there. Isn't it disgustingly ironic that the left wants to "protect" old people from committing suicide (by gun), but have no regard for an unborn baby?
I stand corrected, assuming this is your little one
