        If a legally blind Person is not allowed to own a driver’s license why should they be able to own a gun?

          Being allowed to own a thing is different from being allowed to use it in public. A blind person shouldn’t be allowed to drive or carry a gun, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they shouldn’t be allowed to display them in their home as art or something like that.

          Arguing with Americans about guns is futile. It’s too ingrained in their culture, they grow up with it drilled into them.
