Quote:DES MOINES, Iowa -- Here's some news that has law enforcement officials and lawmakers scratching their heads:

Iowa is granting permits to acquire or carry guns in public to people who are legally or completely blind.

No one questions the legality of the permits. State law does not allow sheriffs to deny an Iowan the right to carry a weapon based on physical ability.

Why should people with a disability have fewer rights than someone who is fully-abled? Does the 2nd Amendment not apply to all legal citizens? (Except felons)

Well, I won't say it doesn't sound ridiculous; I fail to see why a disabled person should be denied a constitutional right for no other reason than their disability.

Thankfully, i don't think driving a car qualifies as a constitutional right. Unfortunately, it seems that flying a commercial airliner qualifies in some countries...

To make sense of that, I'd imagine its for those who hangout or are family with the blind.
