Just about as stupid as the two brothers who were "visually impaired" and attempted to use the Americans With Disabilities Act to force United Airlines to hire them as pilots.

As long as they are completely blind and at least 107 years old I don't see any problem.

How do you magically train a blind person to use a gun? Daredevil is a comic strip.

I would point out that Jedi Knights practice the light sabre while blinded.

How much vision do you really need to thigh shoot someone or set up a perimeter?
