A guy with a brain injury drove his truck into a restaurant on purpose, killing two and injuring others (some severely). It might be a good idea to restrict weapons (guns, cars) to these folks. Of course, they might not have realized this back in 1874. But today we know that brain injuries can make people do weird things. One person's right to own a gun or drive a car shouldn't trump the right to safety of everyone else. The brain injury/insanity defense is probably what a recent local case is going to use.
