Only if her balls were in a manila envelope, otherwise still your aunt. Facts are pretty unimportant to about 35% of the population.

Guessing Drew is glad as he didn't want people who are deemed too incompetent to handle their finances, barred from owning a gun:

Outside Magazine, one of the top couple outlets for hunters, has come out hard against the NRA. In a well articulated piece, it puts a firm and fact based case that all hunters should shun the NRA.

It's Time for Hunters to Leave the NRA
America's proudest tradition should never be used as an excuse for anti-American politics
Outsideonline.com

In the NRA, we hunters have an organization that claims to represent our interests and to which many of us pay to belong. But we also have an organization that is funding the war on our public lands to serve corporate interests, while making our beloved sport look like a bastion of far-right crackpots. And it’s doing that while using our name and money to further rip this country apart. The NRA claims to be a civil rights organization, but if we allow the organization to continue all of this, it’s actually going to destroy our right to go hunting. It’s time for hunters to leave the NRA.

You must think elder abuse is a myth. I know people who work in that area and it most definitely isn’t. I noticed the story completely ignores his side of what happened.

...and so he should have killed the facility employee?

Did he try to kill any of them? Again, hard to say without his side of the story.

Well police call the paramedic 'a hero' and the guy with the gun is being charged with attempted murder...so there's that.

Outside is NOT a hunting magazine. It focuses on hiking, biking, rock climbing, mountaineering, rafting, kayaking, trail running, etc. Occasionally there is a hunting or fishing article, but in that case it's usually more about the destination and less about the activity.

Can't imagine why they'd think that ;)

But in all seriousness being deemed legally incompetent is not a quick easy process that just happens to anyone. There are various checks and balances along the way including independent psychiatric evaluation(s) as well as a mandatory investigation from adult protective services.

But see, Drew thought "mentally incompetent to manage their finances" was the same as not being able to balance a checkbook. .

Yeah we all know what elder abuse is, what's your point?
