The right to bear arms applies to everyone, right?

Even if you’re completely blind? Apparently so…

A new report by the Des Moines Register revealed that Iowa grants permits and the right to carry firearms in public to blind citizens. Understandably the law has raised eyebrows and ire among citizens. Even Stevie Wonder had something to say. “Imagine me with a gun. It’s just crazy.”

Iowa, however, is not the only state to have such controversial laws. Legally blind people in Texas were helped when a measure was passed in 2007 to help them hunt. Steve Hopler, a blind New Jersey man, fought and won the right to have firearms even after he shot himself in the leg in 2008. Hopler’s response to the judge’s decision? “It’s freedom.”

Is denying the blind firearms an infringement on their rights? What do you think?
