Grandpa knows his limits with one possession, but with the other is clearly not capable? I'm about to hit the road for a week or so but I'll get back to this one when i return.
"They" confiscate them, "they" secure them. More than a little unsettling. To me, that's the line that we might want to avoid crossing in solving our problem - creating a "they" with the authority to confiscate your property or charging you with a crime via ownership of property - even in absence of it's use - a property, which just so happens to have been woven into the things we call "rights". Whether or not you agree with this particular right, I'd say that's a pretty rough way for a right (or a person who has them) to be treated.
