It is a similar situation, but the NRA would tell you there is no Constitutional right to drive a car. My point is there is no way you could justify denying guns to blind people if you accept the NRA's interpretation of the Second Amendment. There are of course other interpretations of the Second Amendment that take the well regulated militia part into account which would allow you to limit access to firearms.
