Gunning for the blind.

Apparently the State of Texas is about to pass a law that will allow blind people to hunt animals with a gun that has a laser sight. Laser sights are apparently currently banned in hunting circles as they can make an animal freeze when they spot it.

This report throws up a number of questions for me. Firstly, do we really need blind people running around with guns when we already have Dick Cheney? What kind of blind person would get pleasure out of killing something they cannot see? If you get pleasure from firing a gun then fair enough - I have heard that gun owners get turned on by a swift thump on the shoulder - but hey, surely you can fire that gun at an inanimate object. George Bush lives in Texas, fire it at him.

Secondly, if you are already in this place where you really really need to blow some poor defenseless animal's brains out, why do you care if it is moving or not? Will you feel guilty if Bambi takes the bullet sitting down? Don't worry about your karma, it has already run over your dogma. I hope you all get your laser sights and then accidentally shine them right into the pupils of the "sighted" helper.
