Could you explain "Prohibited Person, please? (And excuse my ignorance?)
Yes, indeed. A prohibited person is anyone, due to age or legal prescription, who is unable to own or possess a firearm due to state or federal law. The most common examples are felons, drug addicts, or juveniles in some jurisdictions. Basically, if you cannot pass the background check, you are a prohibited person. This is an over-simplification, but it works well enough for this discussion.
If you cannot legally own or posses a firearm, you are a prohibited person.

Yep, and a lot of them get hooked up (felons, druggies, etc.) MULTIPLE times until they end up either dead or in prison. At one point we had grandpa, son, and grandson in jail at the same time. Two felon possession drugs/guns, one drugs only.
Thanks, that makes sense and seems to fit the tragic circumstances.
