Funny, the other day I drove past an outdoor rock-climbing wall which was guarded by a 6' cyclone fence. --which is funny... guarding a climbing wall with an easily climbable fence. Have to wonder now if they're being forced to put those turtles in. The wall is up against a building next to a parking lot.

Have a very good friend who is legally blind, as in he most definitely would not be able to tell you what brand of sneakers he's wearing but he can distinguish shapes and would certainly be able to point a gun into the center of whatever fuzzy blob he sees as a potential threat.
No one said nor inferred that blind people can't have guns, nor buy guns.

If you can't see the absurdity of forcing small businesses to install foot brail, to alert blind people that they are stepping outside, then I don't know what to say.
