What has gun wnership got to do with either being right of left wing? I'm fairly right, but I am against gun ownership.

Generally, old people are the cause of their own deaths. For example my own grandmother:

Refused Meals on Wheels
Refused occupational therapy input in falling aids, banisters, ramps, removing pointed tables
Refused home help
Refused residential home placement

So, she lives alone and has a cleaner in once a week. She fell when we were there onto a concrete flor as she was sitting on a takk unstable stool and reaching for a folder. It took 3 to move her to her usual chair. Basically there is a real chance that if we'd not been there she'd have died as she could not move and no guests were expected for days. She describes the event as "a bit silly"...

It is her right to choose a situation that will mean there is a significan liklihood one time she will be found dead at home. I may not agree with that, but it's the way things are.
