Let me have a chick that wants to arrest me for anything.

Track and Field discriminates against slow people.
Airlines don’t hire blind pilots.
Bomb squads don’t hire those with hand tremors.

Math requires a correct answer.

They have to be able to shoot a dog or a disabled vet without having the gun recoil into their faces. It’s just good sense.

Would someone please explain this to me?
