Comment on I was diagnosed with early onset dementia and alzhimers. Is there safe guards I can put it up so I don't screw or kill anyone? Like who do I contact about being denied to own a gun?

  He clearly doesn’t. Hence the question.

    I think you have missed what they were really asking.

      It sounds like he’s asking op if he believes he should own a gun. When he clearly said he wants to be blocked from owning guns.

    Completely missing the point.

        There are segments of the population that FEEL like it’s a god given right to have guns.

        People with dementia revert back to a specific mind state that doesn’t register there is an issue, hence this person’s question.

        Somebody with Alzheimer’s or any stage if Dementia may just walk down the street and buy a gun. Which is my real question.

        Does this person FEEL like they SHOULD own a gun? If it’s something they would normally not think about, it’s unlike that they would-at any stage of memory loss-go and get a gun.

        These diseases don’t completely change your personality and suddenly make you a different creature of habit, they just revert you back to certain spaces where your neural paths make sense and operate on that.
