Let’s say someone who is 23 y/o with nothing to prevent him from buying a gun except he has mental capacity of 8 or 9 y/o child due to medical issue. Can he legally buy a gun?

I’m not sure if this is a troll thread, but I guarantee you, if you attempted to put an IQ requirement on gun ownership, that would be deemed unconstitutional. Not as an infringement on second amendment rights, because leftist don’t believe in that anyway. It would be unconstitutional because it would have a disparate impact upon certain “marginalized” populations who have been scientifically proven to have a lower IQ than other populations. We trust science, but not THAT science.

What if a guy that obviously has the downs syndrome look wants to buy a gun? Doesn't exhibit any strange behaviors but is obviously mentally retarded by looks. I was told to ask the owner if someone with downs syndrome looks tried and we'd go from there. It never happened.

Can he legally buy a gun?

IIRC a court would have to declare him mentally incompetent. Doing that to someone with just a sub 85 IQ might prove difficult but a documented medical issue could sway the court.

Knew a teacher that also taught hunters safety.

Had one student whom he knows well from the school system in his hunters safety class. This kid was a little ‘slow’ if you will and personally he would never trust this kid with a firearm. That said this kid successfully passed the requirements to obtain his hunters safety certificate.

Was a moral conundrum

Grab a table and sit there and people watch a while. "Below normal IQ" becomes a normal part of the scenery. You could also have even higher results at the walmart and sitting on a bench near the gun counter.

It’s a serious question.
I know a kid who is “ slow” and he loves guns and knows a lot about guns…he likes to play shooting video games. He said he wants to buy a Glock 17. I heard he was oxygen deprived during birth and had some developmental issues. When I talk to him it’s like I’m talking to 8 or 9 y/o but you wouldn’t know it by his appearance. He “finished” high school couple years ago.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable if he had it was carrying a loaded Glock
