Please explain to me. The whole gun control thing does nothing but limiting people's access, targeting particularly minorities and the poor, to firearm, a constitutionally protected right. Rich people and politicians have never had problem accessing firearm or armed protection while the minorities and the poor are the ones who are chronically victimized by crime and now being disarmed.

Take the NFA and GAC for example, they restricted access to machine guns. The result is only rich white men can fork out $20,000 and buy them. Minorities and the poor or the 99% have no such access - they can neither afford nor be able to jump through the legal nightmare to obtain one.

But somehow requiring people to show a valid ID before voting is racism even though this country is plagued by illegal immigrants in the magnitude of 30-50 million.

People that registar to vote have proper ID. To registar to vote and recieve a voter registration card, you need a valid ID such as a birth Certificate or a Social Security card/number.

All other arguments are irrelevant. One should be able to resigtar a firearm or resigtar to vote with proper ID.

Good of you not to address the OP's assertions.

And yes I did.

It isn't a racial issue. It's a constitutional one. Requiring a person to buy an I.D. to vote is a poll tax, hence unconstitutional.

What. Part. Of. This. Do. Conservatives. NOT. Understand???????

So all that BS about minorities and the elderly not being able to get or find an ID is just that, BS.
