Since any group of folks of any background will demonstrate bad behavior based on social history and context, their identity is irrelevant to the topic under discussion. The issue is that all have rights and embedded in the crappy folk, there are good people.

They should not be disenfranchised, so to speak, from the right to defend themselves. If they can legally qualify to have a firearm, they should.

Whether they have crazy relatives visiting or criminal relatives is also irrelevant. If they qualify, they qualify. If they give the gun to Uncle Crook or Aunt Crazy, then if that breaks the law deal with it.

We cannot pre-empt their right based on a possibility of a crazy or crooked relative.

Are those folks in public housing perhaps more likely to have such - maybe but so what. It's not relevant as we don't brand folks for others actions or predicted actions.
