I guess it depends on the guidelines of managing money, but I think managing money is a lot harder and complex than handling a firearm safely.

Some of you clearly haven't dealt with this issue with elderly parents/grandparents.

My father doesn't manage his mom's money because she is bad with money, she was actually a bank manager at one time. He does it because she literally can't remember if she deposited checks or what her account passwords are.

That kind of person at that stage should NOT have access to a gun because they are far more likely to hurt themselves or others. The elderly are responsible for more accidental gun deaths than children.

If you're 90 and sharp as a tack, by all means keep your guns.
