Blind Hunting

[Dubh Aingeal]

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.

Uh.

So if Dick Cheney was stricken blind and went hunting with Karl Rove, they could essentially shoot whomever they wanted with impunity because they could each blame the other for the "accident."

No deal.

I like everybody to have as many rights & privileges as possible.

But the biggest privilege and right we all should practice & have is FUCKING COMMON SENSE.
