Aaron Carter and his mother were at LAX and TMZ asked him about getting his license to own a gun. He says he cleared the background check, but the police have made several wellness checks to his homes in recent years because loved ones were concerned about his mental health.

Asked on a scale of 1 to 10 what his mental stability was, he said,

“ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND.”

Wow. That’s off the chart, literally, if it’s from 1 to 10.

He has a history of episodes over the years that are well-documented, but his mom agreed with Aaron and she gives an “interesting” reason why he needs guns.

Aaron recently went through a nasty breakup with his girlfriend in which she allegedly got violent. This resulted in a restraining order against her , just days after cops performed a wellness check on Aaron.

Carter had his background check flagged a few years ago when he tried to purchase a gun 2 years ago right around the time he entered rehab.

Every once in a while a story comes up that illustrates 16 things that are wrong with this country, and I’d say this is one. It shouldn’t be up to him to decide his mental stability (or his mother) but if he has assault rifles with AR-10 scopes, that is the opposite of a good idea.

I don’t have to tell you, we live in one crazy country.

Watch.
