OOC error, but I'll still answer. If it's the case that someone taking  
medicine is safe to own a firearm, but isn't safe if they stop taking  
their medication then the question becomes 'what's the likelihood of that  
happening?'. Think of Asimov's The Naked Sun of the three intelligences  
involved who was the real murderer?
