Gun owners will have to pass vision . . . tests

Before you know it, a suit challenging this law on ADA grounds will be filed. The poor leftists will be all torn up trying to figure out which side they should be on.

Wheee! This should be fun! Stock up on popcorn!

There are a lot of legally blind folks out there who are impressive shooters.

Definitely a pass the popcorn moment. Imagine that, a literacy test for a Constitutional right! What to do, what to do. As Raster Master pointed out, this is normal for the Democrats. (It’s in their genes!)

I think the WaPo was taking some politico’s press brief and filing it as a report.

Residents could begin applying this week for handgun permits in a process that requires a written examination, proof of residency, good vision and ballistic testing. Applicants also would have to pay a fee and agree to fingerprinting and criminal background checks.

Written examinations for Constitutional Rights are better quickly be ruled illegal. Again.

TITLE 42 > CHAPTER 20 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 1971
§ 1971. Voting rights

Good vision requirements are simply illegal under the ADA if the 2nd Amendment is a Right and not a Privilege.

It’s also specifically illegal to charge a fee to take a written and/or literacy test to exercise a Constitutional Right. That is a Civil Rights Act violation.

So what’s left? Proof of Residency, ballistic testing, fingerprinting and criminal background checks.

I remember a story about a blind guy who had a CCW.
