I am a pro gun owner, so don't get this message wrong.  Recently,
however, a friend of mine divorced his wife.  His wife owns a few
guns and practices (legal) firing in the basement.  These people
have three wonderful kids.

My concern is this.  Both the person and his wife are nice people
but they drink and smoke marijauna often.  If the wife were to
become depressed after the divorce, drink and smoke up a lot, and
one day figure her kids have no future, might this not affect her
judgement?   

Neither the husband nor wife are violent, and I believe they have a
"right" to own guns, but the fact that this person obtained all of
the guns in the LAST YEAR is of concern.

Another concern is that depression tends to take quite a toll on
people, and people who take drugs and liquor regularly tend to do so
because "everyday life" is too difficult to cope with without some
degree of mind alteration.  In this case, everyday life, at least
for the mother, will become much more complicated.

My question is this:   Why isn't there a question, anywhere on the
gun form, about how often people take drugs and/or liquor, what
kinds they take, and how often and how much?  The form asks only
about "prescribed" drugs.

Can any drunk person or drug user qualify for a gun as long as he
hasn't been convicted?

As any woman who has divorced knows, a woman with three kids,
suddenly on her own, and without much education is headed for a few
years of extreme depression.
