Few caregivers, however, have discussed what to do when their loved ones are unfit to handle the guns. Age-proof your brain by keeping your heart healthy, study says"Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia can cause changes in thinking and memory that could make someone unsafe to handle a gun, even if that person has a lifetime of experience," said lead researcher Dr.
The study analyzed responses to the 2019 National Firearms Survey from adults 35 years or older who said they were making decisions about medical, financial, housing or other needs for a person of dementia. The online survey, conducted last year between July 30 and August 11, is conducted among a nationally representative sample of US adults living in homes with firearms.
