Iowa is granting permits to acquire or carry guns in public to people who are legally or completely blind.No one questions the legality of the permits. State law does not allow sheriffs to deny an Iowan the right to carry a weapon based on physical ability.

Wealthy Entitlement, No Longer a Myth

This study comes in a series in which Piff tries to iso­late the ways that wealth­ier peo­ple dif­fer socially.  Last year, Piff pub­lished a paper show­ing that wealthy indi­vid­u­als are more likely to exhibit a num­ber of uneth­i­cal behav­iors.   As Piff told New York Mag­a­zine last year, “While hav­ing money doesn’t nec­es­sar­ily make any­body any­thing,” Piff says, “the rich are way more likely to pri­or­i­tize their own self-interests above the inter­ests of other peo­ple.  It makes them more likely to exhibit char­ac­ter­is­tics that we would stereo­typ­i­cally asso­ciate with, say, assholes.”
