Disenfranchising the Disabled

The retrofit was meant for individuals who have limited mobility in their hands or who have difficulties pulling the trigger multiple times.  Many detractors may not grasp why someone with such limiting factors would even want to hunt, shoot, or fire a gun, but many persons with disabilities are avid outdoor sportspeople.  There are specialized wheelchairs designed for hunting and trekking through woods and brush, adaptive crossbows, lifting tree stands, and add-ons that allow hunters with severe disabilities to fire their weapons by blowing through a straw.  Simply put, if it’s a right to own and utilize guns, the right must be extended to people with disabilities.

You wouldn't know it from the way the Palm Pistol has been treated.

Still, it's useful to get the backstory on this.  Who'da thunk it would come from Kos?

I needed you to remind me of the Palm Pistol. Thanks for that.

The ADA is actually a very useful way to end-run the Left's talking points.

Many democrats voted for the ADA back in 1989.

It would help to find some gun owners who can say they have honestly benefited from such accessories.
