"An impaired mobility, impaired vision person totally deserves some kind of protection"
It's the job of the police specifically and of government generally to create a safe society. If one's community is seriously so unsafe that carrying firearms is justified from the point-of-view of personal protection there are better ways to fix it than arming blind people.
- mgarfias 12y agoPolice in America have zero responsibility to protect an individual. They enforce laws. Also, even if they did, check on response times for a 911 call. My wife is a dispatcher with the sheriffs dept here - 20-30 mins is normal where we are at. Tell us again how the cops can protect us?
- claudius 12y agoFix your police, then.
- bashinator 12y agoCan you recommend a fix which will reduce the average response time of police to under say 5 minutes in a geographically huge, mostly unpopulated rural area?
- claudius 12y agoDon’t live in a geographically huge, mostly unpopulated rural area but instead in sufficiently large villages/small towns, each with their own local police. Especially don’t live in a geographically huge, mostly unpopulated rural area if you are blind. Self-defence is likely to be one of the smaller issues in this case.
