You can't counter my argument/opinion so instead you resort to pointing out me editing my post and my spelling. Definitely done wasting my time on you.

It's just the part about "use" that I personally object to. If they want to shoot guns on their own property that's cool with me.
of course then that begs the question why would you give someone the right to possess a deadly weapon but not the right to use it to defend themselves when their life is in danger 
This could go on for pages and pages

A blind person could effectively use a gun if his life is in danger. Example: If Zimmerman were blind, he still could have pulled out his gun and shot Martin in the way he did. A contact shot is certainly possible.
Of course, we don't want blind people shooting guns in public, but we don't want ANYONE doing that, do we? The reality is that shooting a gun on a public street isn't much safer for a sighted person as it is for a blind person. Carrying a gun, on the other hand, is safe for both...so why take away a blind man's right to carry?

Is there some sort of contest between the states where the most retarded one wins or something? Cause right now I think, we have a winner. Unless Arkansas does something about it...

You can't shoot someone with a nuke either, but it's still deadly....and you can certainly kill someone with a frying pan.
I don't see why the potential to "shoot" is somehow deserving of special treatment

Next thing you know they will be letting them have dogs too. How are they supposed to know when the dog is biting someone?

Because they present a substantially greater risk to the public than a sighted person.

I don't see any additional risk to the public simply by carrying a weapon. In addition, it is antithetical to any notion of "freedom" to ban safe conduct because there is a potential for some to act in an unsafe manner.

The risk lies in using the weapon they are carrying. Nearly every behavior imaginable has some degree of risk or "unsafeness"; even something as simple as walking down the stairs. Thus, we have rules and regulations to govern aspects of our behavior. One might imagine a system of complete anarchy as unsafe.

Being blind doesn't mean you aren't smart enough to realize your hand is empty.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
