Gun permits for the blind create divide in Iowa

I wonder what kind of defense would be used in this type of shoot to kill trial?

i just don't even..gd those founding fathers for not seeing one this coming. regulated militia with sight...

smack dab middle of nyc or dead flat texas..they still can't see. i mean, really.

maybe i'm wrong, but nyc doesn't sound like anything i alluded to.

Comedy gold in Iowa.

There is a future Law and Order episode involving a ventriloquist able to throw voices that match the blind guys ex-wife no doubt.

"Do you have anything that shoots omni-directional?"

I don't see what is there to be discussed. The 2nd Amendment applies to all Americans. Presuming there should be a debate on whether a visually-impaired person should have his/her 2nd Amendment curtailed is akin to attempting to establish control on what type of weapons one should be allowed to carry.

If we let them come for the blind today, what will stop them from coming for assault rifles the next week?

The NRA is hiring for their agitprop department. You should apply!

I would love to see a re-enactment of an American civil war battle with the visually impaired. Would make for a good comedy.

lives alone, lives out in the country

So only single blind people who live in the middle of nowhere should be allowed to own guns? Why is that? Because it's DANGEROUS to others?

Based on the majority of the gun owners on this board and the vast majority of people in this country that are currently allowed to run around with guns, how much worse could an armed blind person really be? We may even get lucky and one of the visually impaired might mistake a gun nut for an intruder in their home.

Just arm everyone and let the killing begin.

as is everything else.

So who cares, right? Everything's dangerous anyway! Might as well hand the blind some weapons and hope for the best. While we're at it, let the completely blind drive cars. Cars are more dangerous than guns, of course, so what does it matter?

What a logical argument.

Rocket launchers, RPGs and small nukes should be covered by the second amendment, too. Sure they're dangerous but so is everything else, right?

They're legal in Pakistan, just look at how great that's working out.

just make them wear a special mark on their coats, that way everyone will know to avoid them.
