IOWA ALLOWS GUNS FOR THE BLIND

The state of Iowa is now granting gun permits to people who are legally or completely blind. State law does not allow sheriffs to deny an Iowan the right to carry a weapon based on physical ability. Advocates for the disabled and Iowa law enforcement officers disagree over whether it’s a good idea for visually disabled Iowans to have weapons. Cedar County Sheriff Warren Wethington says blind people can be taught to shoot guns. And Jane Hudson, executive director of Disability Rights Iowa, says blocking visually impaired people from the right to obtain weapon permits would violate the Americans with Disabilities Act. On the other side: people with common sense.
* I firmly believe we should stand behind any blind person who wants a gun.
* The trick is to aim the gun in the direction that smells like a burglar.
* How does this work if a blind person in Iowa wants to buy a private airplane?
* Can you buy a gun if your physical ability is limited by the fact that you’re only five years old?
* Blind people should have the same right as anyone else to go on a shooting rampage and massacre a bunch of people.
* It’s the same way a deaf person can still get a silencer.
* Maybe the key here is they don’t know you’re blind so the gun could still work.
* You know what group is really opposed to this? Seeing eye dogs.
* Wait, a gun sure worked for Ray Charles in the “Blues Brothers” movie.
* The solution is simple: The blind person announces that they self-identify as having sight. Then we have to respect it.
