[blindLaw] Firearms and the Blind?

[tim at timeldermusic.com]

I was mostly referring to the ADA and related state laws as applied to state and local gun ownership policies.

I was thinking that too, except I wonder if that analysis changed, given SCOTUS's 2022 Bruen case and its emphasis on not having the 2nd Amendment treated as possessing second-class citizen rights. I also think that 'the people' includes blind people and that rational basis review would not apply, since strict scrutiny was held to be the wrong analysis for the right to keep and bare arms.
But there could be a weak argument against saying that this was not intended by its text and history, with which i would disagree.
Just my thoughts.
