Best gun for a down syndrome man?

My cousin has down syndrome. He also wants a gat. To my knowledge, there's nothing in the constitution that says downies can't have gats. He doesn't have money though. Should I help my downie cousin acquire a gat? If so, what is the best gun for specialbois?

Airsoft gun

A nerf gun

A .22 rifle or pistol. Not like he can make himself more of a potato.

They cannot legally own a gun according to federal law prohibiting those with documented mental disorders

Please no meme replies. He is high functioning and lives on his own (though people check in on him and help him with stuff like making appointments or getting him to places he can't take the bus to.)

If his apartment were to be invaded, why shouldn't he have the means to defend himself?

>If his apartment were to be invaded, why shouldn't he have the means to defend himself?
He has tard strength.

Because the invader would be doing the world a favor.

its a moral dilemma, but if he can't make his own appointments, and needs to be checked in on, i don't think independent gun ownership is for him

Fuck off nigger. He didn't choose to be born with down syndrome. He works a job and doesn't take government handouts. Literally more independent than millions of non syndrome people and probably most of the NEETs on the chans. One of the kindest, purest people you would ever meet. Friendly to everyone.

a glock so he can blow himself up

>Officer down
There I said it

FAMAS with a chromosome lined barrel

Get an illegal gun for him, because a legal one would get you in trouble.
He can't get in a lot of trouble and you can just get him a new one if it gets confiscated.

>let's give a gun to someone that need people to hold his hand regularly.
you could become his bodyguard.

How high functioning? Downs is pretty debilitating, I'm not sure I'd trust a downie with a firearm on his own.
Under supervision, maybe, but only then.

Maybe his caretakers could be armed, but they can't realistically be there 24/7 if he's living on his own.
It's a complicated situation, at any rate.

Are you gonna teach him how to shoot first? Make sure he really understands guns unironically are not a fucking toy to be taken lightly? Shall not be infringed and what not but this is literally a retarded idea.

>How high functioning?
He's probably in the upper 10% of downs. He works two jobs (grill at McDonalds, also helps out on a family friend's farm cleaning stables/feeding animals/mowing). He isn't very good at "booksmarts", but does have reasonable common sense. Knows the importance of budgeting/delayed gratification and sticks to a budget. Invests (with help, but do a lot of people). Follows the news and has at least as much of an understanding of current events as the average person.

On the other hand, math beyond addition, subtraction, and basic multiplication/division eludes him. He reads and speaks at probably a 10-12 year old level. He doesn't drive, but I'm unsure if anyone has ever bothered to try teaching him (he does drive atvs and other equipment around the farm fine). He has independent hobbies and interests that he's capable of pursuing on his own. For example, if he wants to go fishing, he can use public transport to get to the bait shop and out to the lake by himself. He can also read maps and use a cellphone/internet.

In a lot of ways, he's a big ass fifth grader.

He knows they aren't toys. He's slow, not stupid. He's shot my guns before and has BB guns. He's actually a pretty decent shot.

You should perform a late abortion on him. He has an extra chromosome so genetically he is not even human.
Also, best solution to sell his extra chromosome to solve the tard issue and then buy the gun with that money.

The one historical example I know of was a certain previous kind of Spain whom shooting was his main extra-curricular activity. I suggest a brown bess musket.

Make him a potato gun

Ignoring the meme replies user, he sounds like the type of downie who wouldn't blow his head off with it. Even then you've got to be so careful with this shit. If you're dead set on arming him, then I would spend a good long time taking him to a range to shoot your guns and teaching him all the fundamentals. Like if he can't recite and understand the four rules then I wouldn't even give him an airsoft gun lest he gets curious and looks down the barrel and knocks his eye out.

On second thought, maybe while you're training him you can get him an airsoft gun and see if he develops good habits.

Dude, it literally does not matter that it is not his fault. Yeah, it sucks for him. Doe not mean, that he should handle a firearm. If you were born blind, you probably should ot drive a car on the streets, no matter that its not you own fault.

What matters is : Is he responsible enough to safely handle a firearms without harming others or himself? I guess you know him well enough, so you need to answer 3 questions:
1. did he EVER lost control and sperged out on someone,
2. did he ever did something really stupid for reasons that could be tracked to his disability? Like forgetting to turn off a gas stove, leaving wallet is the store, etc?
3. Is he capable of understanding terms, like self defence, death, personal responsibility, etc?

And additional 4th question: if he hurts someone or himself , by accident or negligence, will you be ok with that?

Bottom line is: is he high functioning enough to be trusted with a gun?

If so get him a revolver. While internally complicated, conceptually its probably easiest to understand, and operate - and harderst to fuck up by negligence. I assume you will be responsible for cleaning and maintenance.

And just like that I'm never gonna eat McDonald's again, I've seen too many tards with their hand down their pants to let any near my tendies.

A lever-action rifle in .357 Magnum, or a pump-action shotgun in 20-Gauge.
Easy calibers to shoot from the shoulder, but have quite respectable firepower when needed, they also only shoot once before you have to manually cycle the action, and you fill the magazine one cartridge at the time, he couldn't accidentally pull the trigger more than once.

But I think this is something you need to discuss with all the other people around him, the rest of your family, his caretakers, etc, and you definitely need to put him through a course where you teach him all the necessary things, like trigger discipline, muzzle discipline, being aware what you're shooting at, etc, also hearing protection.
At any rate, I think you should definitely start out with pelletguns, like a classic Red Ryder, where you teach him fundamentals, then a .22LR rifle, you'd need to ease him into this.
If he's truly on the level of a fifth grader, this could be done, but don't be casual about it, this is a serious thing you're getting him into.

You're not a good christian.

This desu

So what do you do for a living?

Have a fully functioning brain and actually contribute to society.

k98k

Give him a gun made by people that wanted people like him exterminated.

But only if he really is one of those rare super high functioning mongoloids that won't fuck it up.

Maybe first take him shooting a few times with your own gun/a borrowed gun that you might think is suitable for him. That way, you can observe him using it, to both check for safety, as well as to see if he's comfortable with it and it's not a passing thing. I'd recommend going to a place he'd go to as well, so the range staff get comfortable with the idea too.

After a while, gift him something nice but tell him to hold off on the ammo buying for when you're around. That way, if he does something inappropriate, by mistake or whatever, then he's in the best case scenario.

Once you're comfortable, his initial excitement wears off, and he's a 'local' at wherever, let him fly free.

What do you contribute?

>Give him a gun made by people that wanted people like him exterminated.
fucking kek

As long as he hasn't be adjudicated as mentally incompetent to manage his own affairs, there is no law that can prevent him from purchasing a firearm.

A Ruger single six might be a good gun.

a 22lr pistol. that way it would be really hard for him to accidentally kill someone.

Source? All I know of is question 11f on form 4473.

Too dependent on others to own a firearm, pretty much like children.

But there's other options, a potato gun would be fitting, as it's not a firearm.

is it even legal for actual retards to own guns?
Buy him some bear mace

My batallion had a token downs guy, he loved guns and the military more than anything.
Dude got ranked corporal and visited us once a month.

Fucker got to shoot everything er for all the time. Didnt know shit about anything other than shooting was awesome and guns/military shit is cool af.

Probably the most K dude i've met

He also got to drive over a car in a Leo engineer tank, ironiccally called "specialpanser"

But they shouldnt own guns on their own

Dude I wouldn't let a fifth grader own a weapon, I sure as fuck wouldn't let a downs kid own a gun

Tax dollars

>he says while spending 60% of his day shitposting on 4chin

Really now?

Why did you post a picture of an empty firing range..?

SHALL

Everyone has the god given right and freedom to own guns, there should be no exceptions

If he's such a gentle soul he probably won't want to shoot anyone anyways, even if they are trying to hurt him. Take him to a gun range and let him try shooting guns out. If he seems able to get the whole gun safety thing then maybe get him a target pistol. If he's living in housing for disabled people, then make sure he can have a gun there. You don't want to get him evicted.

11f is them being declared mentally defective

It's illegal to possess a gun if you are one
>who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or who has been committed to a mental institution
Also, giving a weapon to a literal retard would probably be considered reckless endangerment on your part.

The novelty of an RP46, DP28, and RPK all being fielded at the same time by the same military

My younger brother has down syndrome. I would say hes a couple steps behind yours in terms of functionality, hes pretty high up there, but he has problems with understanding certain parts of reality, and some more advanced motor skills. For example he has trouble riding a bike because it requires foot movement, balance, and steering all at the same time.
I want to teach him to shoot, but I am worried about him not understanding the true weight and responsibility of a firearm.
In your cousins case, it seems like he is doing pretty good, but I would be really cautious about firearms. Unless he lives in a bad area and you think the probability of him needing one is high, I would look at alternative defensive tools, like bats, or maybe tasers. If he wants to get into shooting, then maybe you can keep the firearm for him and bring it to the range when you both go shooting together, that way it's a controlled environment and he gets time behind the gun.
If he shows responsibility after maybe a year or so, you might consider getting him one then. If you did, I would recommend either a double action only revolver, or possibly a single/double barrel shotgun. These guns have very easy concepts behind them, and you don't have to worry about mistakes like "I took the magazine out but it still fired!".
I hope you can teach him, user, it pains me that I can't share that experience with my brother. Right now though he seems pretty happy just helping me reload AK mags.

Tard strength

This. It should be illegal to hire retards for food service.

Tard strength
If you think a tard can load a gun without shooting himself than you're just as retarded

think of what would happen if he shot someone and was in the wrong, the gun grabbers would have a field day demanding stronger background checks and you would probably get the blame

you would have to be really damn sure he has a proper understanding of how seriously he has to take firearm safety

This is a horrible idea. Even if he is high functioning if anything goes wrong (which I think is likely) literally all the blame will fall to you OP and perhaps legal responsibility as well

if you're capable and willing to teach him how to maintain a gun, get him some kind of pistol caliber carbine in 9mm. most downies I've seen don't have amazing motor skills and probably wouldn't have the best ability for shooting handguns. something like a beretta cx4 or kel tec sub 2000 would probably suit him well.

Damn, now that’s some prehistoric pasta. What’d you do, resurrect an old hard drive from 5 years ago and find this in a pasta folder? Good job, you’re gonna limit out on replies and stay on page 1 for a couple of days.

If you have this pasta, you’ve probably got the one about the gay illegal immigrant looking for recommendations for a carry piece because he works nights in a rough part of town. If you do that one, hold off on revealing he’s an escort until you get at least 100 replies. Guaranteed that thread will hit 400 replies before it falls off of page 10.

I regularly lose things and forget to turn the oven off do I have downs

You probably have mild downs just for visiting this place.

What is this? Am I a downy for thinking its pretty?

A captive bolt pistol and yes.

I don't actually know about downs, but revolvers have the simplest manual of arms.

SHALL FUCKING NOT

You fucking kike. As a special needs adult he has assited living so you are a fucking kike shill. As for the rest of you, you're one stroke or accident away from being "retarded" so why do you make it harder for a special needs person than it already is? Do you not believe in karma. A downie isn't really a threat to you, unless they get you in a headlock and give you a big hug and accidentally kill you. Can't you pick on the niggers, goatfuckers, spics, poos or others who are above 70 IQ and still fuckups?

>a downie isn't a threat
>an armed retard isn't a danger to himself and everyone around him
Alright I think you've had a bit too much to bait

He lives on his own and hasn't killed himself yet. I would say a DA revolver, keep the first cylinder empty. Make sure he knows how dangerous it is and shoot with him a bunch before you give it to him. Show him how to keep it somewhere safe and easily accessible. Make sure he knows the only strict circumstances in which he takes it out or uses. But of course make sure he knows how to safely unload, and handle. Test him on it

For absolute brotier have a dumby or deactivated version of the real gun that's painted blue, so he can practice and play with that

I agree he has every right to defend himself but because his capacity for learning is impaired you have to make sure all of the odds are in favor of no mistakes

And he could be your long-lost pal

Black powder muzzle-loading flintlock pistol for starters; if he can manage that 100% reliably, then he is truly ready to appreciate a modern handgun.

give him a BB gun first and see how he does
