I was at the range recently and there was a gentleman tearing the center out of his target at 15 yards with some 1911 clone. Not unusual except this man was missing part of his other arm from the elbow down.
On the way home I got to thinking that there must be tens of thousands of disabled folks who would be at a serious disadvantage if they were only allowed to have pump, lever, or bolt action rifles/ shotguns. Even revolvers would be a disadvantage if a fast reload is critical.
The only practical self & home defense firearm for these folks as I see it is a high capacity semi auto. Especially since they may be targeted by criminals more often than others.
So, how can the government pass a semi auto ban when it clearly puts disabled folks at a serious disadvantage? Doesn't the RKBA apply to everyone? Has there ever been a court case to address this issue?
