Feels like an Onion article doesn't it?
Regardless of one’s physical abilities, the right to self-defense is universal. Sutherland has the same right as any other law-abiding citizen to defend himself from a life-threatening attack. At the same time, like every gun owner, he bears full responsibility for every round he fires. If he were to use a firearm irresponsibly, that liability would be on him—not the government.
While it seems absurd on its face the state's gun regulations really do violate the most basic rights of humans. These violations affect the weakest among us. When I get push back from folks about guns I always go to the right to defend one's self but it is also important to say that each person should be held to account for their use of deadly force. We don't hear that enough in these conversations and it really strengthens the position of those in support of human rights.

Sutherland insists he supports the Second Amendment but believes Indiana’s laws should be reevaluated. “If I can have a gun, why can’t I have a driver’s license? What’s the worst that could happen? I could kill somebody,” he said.
I'd love to have this conversation in front of a lot of people :) I don't think we have a very good record with driver's licenses... Maybe the state should stop doing that too!
Insurance is the solution. Let them require training or validation in order to receive coverage and actually allow the free market to do its thing.

Discrimination is an important issue... and if we all had more empathy...
Life would be better...
