Texas Lawmaker Wants To Let the Blind Hunt
IHC Navistar writes with a story from Reuters Oddly Enough. A Texas lawmaker has introduced a measure that would allow blind people to hunt any game that sighted people can currently pursue. The article notes that the bill may have clear sailing in the hunting-besotted state of Texas. An education outreach person from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department explained it this way: "A blind person can shoot a rifle by mounting an offset pistol scope on the side of the rifle instead of on top. This allows their companion behind them to peer over their shoulder and help them sight it, but the blind person can pull the trigger."
next theyll suggest they should be allowed to drive, with a sighted passenger riding shotgun. what the hell is the world coming to, canada is looking mighty inviting lately.
And the misfortune of the wild animal, slaughtered for fun? Is that humorous to you instead?
Hunting is not.
maybe where you live. not in all places.
i bet the chance of a seeing eye dog biting someone are higher than a blind hunter hurting someone. i would love to see someone bring up a single case of a time where a blind hunter, being assisted by a seeing person, hurt somebody.
and finally, automobiles are much more deadly than guns. so what's your point? a person who cannot see, can successfully participate in a safe hunting experience, but not driving a car. what does one have to do with the other?
It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
I decline to comment
Asshole.

1) We are the government. We're free to overthrow it one election at a time.
2) Police. That's what they're for. If your home is being invaded all the time? Maybe it's time to move.
Next we'll be discussing the sudden rash of flagburning that everyone has to be protected from and the very jolly way that privatizing highways will make them not turn to gravel.
