They’re blind, not stupid. If someone sneaks into my bedroom in the pitch-black of night and starts to rough me up, they’re going to get shot if they don’t kill me first. It’s not the optimal situation, but I’d rather have a gun than not, even if I can’t see.

Why should a blind man being assaulted or stabbed not have the same right to self-defense? He will know where the attacker is, and may not even have to fire upon presenting the weapon.

Blind people are extremely cautious by nature, often much more so than people who can see. I think you grossly underestimate their intelligence.

oh lighten up

I’m talking about a totally blind person who cannot see running around with a frigging gun.
If you cannot have a joke about it then do one and find a sense of humor.

Now to get serious with you.
If you think someone who cannot see at all and is totally blind should be now given a gun then you need your head testing

Someone who cannot see at all having a gun, and then hears a shot cannot aim, cannot think if that shot was for them.

Think about it before you get on your high horse next time hey
