CNN Video has a clip about great-grandmother Lena Smith holding a burglar at gun point until the police arrive. And it's a heart-warming, elder-empowerment story.
Now let's imagine the equally plausible possibility that she had a little bit of dementia and shot the mailman.
Seniors with guns is an increasing social issue, and one that is going to be repeatedly tragic in the coming years.

I am not sure that all seniors with guns will cause a problem. There are always exceptions to the rule. I t is up to the family members to access the situation to determine when the appropriate time has come to remove the weapons.
