Iowa is granting gun permits to blind people. Okay does anybody else think this might be bad idea?

Okay well it feels like a gun. It is a gun, right?

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. 

The quandary centers squarely on public safety. Advocates for the disabled and Iowa law enforcement officers disagree over whether it's a good idea for visually disabled Iowans to have weapons.

The "disagree"  on whether or not this is a bad idea?

WTF is there to disagree about?

This IS a bad, bad, bad idea. Did I mention how bad this idea is?

Look I am not even sure how many sighted people should have gun permits, but I am positive as to how many blind people should have gun permits.

Fucking zero, that's how many!
