I'd really rather you didn't show up with a gun. You can't even see.

as a famous Texan once said everyone else may go to Hell I'm going to Texas.
And you think it's a good idea to have a bunch of untrained and armed people called up to deal with a situation?

It's actually not uncommon to do so even today in search & rescue or recovery.
When we're looking for a missing person, it's not that uncommon for the sheriff to deputize a few dozen heads of search teams before we all climb in private airplanes with our spotters and go hunting for missing kids or hikers or whatever.

A missing person is very different from a missing suspect. A posse is not the way modern law enforcement works.

Here’s the List of Companies That Asked Congress for Gun Control
They can all go fuck themselves with a running chainsaw while drinking a gallon of bleach.
Twitter and Reddit among them, huh? Remember when companies pulled ads from Youtube for having pedo content on their site? It would be a shame if gun owners decided to go after the Reddit/Twitter advertisers and send them screenshots and archives of all the terrorist accounts on Twitter and neo-nazi/anti-police/necrophilia content from Reddit...
And I have been telling people for a while that Lyft and Uber are anti-gun fascists, support your local taxi company.

Blind people are a hard question. It's hard to imagine a blind person using a gun successfully or safely.
But at the same time, we try to avoid removing peoples' civil rights based on disability. We don't take an amnesiac's right to vote away, even if they can't remember the candidates and without it it would be hard to vote successfully and their incorrect vote could harm others.
That being said, I haven't seen an epidemic of the blind buying and misusing firearms, so much like the hysteria surrounding third term abortion, which is exceptionally rare, I'm not going to get too excited about it do to the exceptional rarity socially speaking.
Does that help?

I bet the Uber and Lyft CEOs want guns banned because they're afraid of their "independent contractors" going postal and shooting up the company's headquarters.
Because trampling on the rights of millions is easier than not treating your employees like shit.

I can't wait for blind pilots to become a thing.
