That is of course vastly different. I'm not super concerned if a mother of three in a frantic rush to get the gun out during a home invasion sweeps her own foot or has her finger on the trigger a little early. And the rule about being absolutely sure of what's behind your target usually gets thrown out the window when the alternative is to die or suffer great bodily harm. I would say almost all self-defense shootings (including police) did not follow this rule to the same standard that is required during practice.TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667036856347626234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-56222190425581686642015-03-07T16:29:49.636+01:002015-03-07T16:29:49.636+01:00How can a blind guy possible be sure of his target...<i>How can a blind guy possible be sure of his target and what's behind it?</i><br /><br />Do you <i>ever</i> intend to address the point, raised repeatedly in this discussion, that legally blind does not necessarily mean completely sightless?<br /><br />Blind people's Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human rights are no less Constitutionally guaranteed or fundamental than anyone else's.

Keep in mind that we cant even keep track of people who are here illegally, much less pieces of metal with serial numbers on them."<br /><br />That's part of the gun problem. We should have the ability to track guns used in crimes and murders. We should be able to know where the gun came from and how the criminal got a hold of the gun. The rest of your examples only show me even more, that we need to be able to track guns. If those guns that fell out of the truck fall into bad guys hands we should be able to track those guns to that shipment, and maybe find out they didn't just fall out of the truck. I hope you support the idea of stopping guns getting into bad guys hands and stopping the theft of guns. <br />The basic ability to shoot a gun is sighting. So I can't support blind people having guns. And yes, that puts them at a disadvantage. Many people with disabilities have disadvantages due to their disabilities, which is why we classify them as disabled. .
