Emphasis added. I agree. It's not just guns/cars, it's sometimes/often ladders, stairs, stoves, medications, etc. Not every senior has friends/family, let alone responsible friends/family to watch their back.

sinjefe, back at ya - So, who is the anointed person capable of making that decision?

My answer is a responsible friend/family. In its absence, then society needs to step in.

WCH made a simple statement and yours was a simple question. No need to read into them.
