(Edit: replying to **pkbites** ) Did you read the OP? He swore to his therapist and then-wife that he wouldn’t buy a gun (due to having severe depression and anger issues) and then apparently went and did it. She is cleaning out his crap from **her** place and found gun-related stuff. So either he merely bought 3000 rounds of ammo and a night scope for a pistol just because, or he has/had a gun to go with them. Listen, I personally don’t give a shit if an average person has a gun. The person being described in the OP, per his therapist’s judgement, really shouldn’t have a gun. ---

If he bought A gun, why were there more than 1 type of ammo? Possible that he bought ammo and no gun? People stockpiled ammo after Obama was elected. I even bought ammo in calibers for which I owned no guns to. > [@Ferret\_Herder](#): > > his therapist’s judgement, really shouldn’t have a gun. Did I miss something? Where did the OP say the therapist said this? She only mentioned discussing it with the therapist. ---

Why not get a restraining order for you and your child against your ex-husband stating the reason is that you believe your ex has a gun and under certain circumstance could use said gun if? (fill in the blanks) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Then he would be forced to admit if he has a gun or not. ---

**TruCelt** : Even if he has a gun, so what? Is he prohibited by law from owning or possessing a gun? ---

The discussion has drifted far enough away from the OP that it’s no longer a GQ. Closed. **samclem** , moderator [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/finding-gun-registration-information/660045.md?page=1)
