The thought of pulling the trigger of the gun is what can kill a being. Who can give the right to one who cannot even aim? All senses are needed to target properly, especially vision. However, Huffington's post "Iowa Issues Gun Permits in Iowa, Allowing Them to Carry in Public" written by Ryan Grenoble on September 8, 2013, shows that is not the case. Citizens without eyesight are able to own this deadly weapon in the state.
The explanation behind this is based off the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, not allowing denial of any right to the physically disabled. However, even the famous Stevie Wonder could not comprehend the logic. "Imagine me with a gun, that would be crazy" - he stayed. On the other hand, a policewoman with a blind daughter claims that "If sheriffs spent more time trying to keep guns out of criminals’ hands and not people with disabilities, their time would be more productive". But for the most part, many of the local authorities are perplexed on the issue and claim that this right threatens the safety of their community. One can question the values of life by deciding which morality overrides - human rights or the preservation of protection?
