	That depends on how characteristics one uses to classify people.

	If it is on the basis of "Dullness" (mental or otherwise), 
then it is not pseudoscience.

	If one were, however, to classify all gun owners as ignorant 
rednecks, white supremacists or gang bangers based on a "fully 
scientific study" carried out under the auspices of the Southern 
Poverty Law Center, and that these individuals needed re-education in 
order to be fully reintegrated into modern society, would you say the 
same thing?

afflicted is incapable of knowing that he is incompetent. To have such
knowledge would already be to remedy a good portion of the offense.
