Jaded, I think the difference in the State's eyes between your husband having guns and you having them is a matter of who is ultimately responsible for their availability. If (God forbid), you were to harm someone (or yourself) with one of your husband's guns, HE could ultimately become liable for it because it was up to him to keep them in a secure place. Sort of like a bartender who is found negligible in a DUI case. If someone was clearly intoxicated and was served another drink, the bar can be held liable.

I think the high-profile cases like assassinations do make it harder for people with any sort of mental health history to get a gun, and often with good reason. But there are many cases where responsible people who are stable are being denied their constitutional right to bear arms.
