Right here: this is the answer to the question why not lock him up for observation. Thank you, whitehall.Even though I'm a staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment and a former NRA expert combat shooter I am inclined to go along with the "Red Flag" sanctions if they are used fairly. Sometimes you need to get a firearm away from someone who is clearly deranged without locking up the poor bastard. Fairly and justly is the key and there are no guarantees.
What, just because a guy who lived an honorable life, made a living for his family, everybody likes him ------ just because he got a little senile at the age of 83, now we're supposed to disgrace him, lock him in prison like a criminal, test him, do all sorts of degrading things to him??
Darn, just ease the guns out of the house. He can't drive anyway anymore: it's not going to be a further problem. Give the wife a little help: she's 81, after all.
