Turns out theres an Iowa state law that forbids sheriffs from denying the right to carry a weapon based on a physical disability to people, which means that blind people are allowed to register for a gun, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BLIND.

Luckily with certain guns you only have to aim towards the general direction anyways.. Debate.org Moderator |

One doesn't really need to be able to see to be effective with a rocket launcher. Joking aside, there are legal semantics here that will probably be worked out to limit the sale of guns to blind people. Debate.org Moderator |

9/9/2013 1:41:43 AM Posted: 6 years ago I would like to point out that being legally blind is not the same as being totally blind.
Shooting at a blurry spot that is threatening you is different than shooting in the dark at a voice. And, yes, there are legal issues of ADA and probably other laws that apply. At least the noble sheep provides us warm sweaters. All your hides would provide are coward pants. - Dick Solomon "I call albatross!" - seventhprofessor |

9/9/2013 1:47:32 AM Posted: 6 years ago If I shall take the pro-gun stance, for this one:
Blind people can't shoot. Therefore they wouldn't be expected to buy guns. There's no need for government to intervene, as to prevent the blind hordes from going on shooting rampages. Grand Poobah of DDO |
