This thread is funny. The reality is Republicans want to making voting tougher than getting a gun. In some backwards states, it is actually being accomplished.
In some states it is harder to buy a box of Sudafed than it is to buy a gun. For most Republicans the US Constitution only has three sections - the 1st Amendment which gives you the right to be a Christian, the 2nd Amendment that gives you the right to buy as many weapons as you want, and the rest that gives you the right to vote for any Republican you choose.

Since both actions are Constitutionally acknowledged and protected, neither should be difficult for the average person.
I stopped caring immediately after Sandy Hook. Gun control was never going to happen. Kids are going to be gunned down in school. Public shootings are simply going to be as common as they are.
Republicans wouldn't vote to limit firearm access to the clinically mentally ill. They still won't do it, even after a walking, talking metaphor gunned their own down in public.
Another ignorant anti gun nut with no idea what he's talking about, typical. It's ALREADY illegal for someone clinically mentally ill to own a firearm. You people might be surprised what the laws actually are if you bothered to educate yourself on the subject instead of spewing ignorant baseless opinions.

... Democrats have long lauded background checks on gun purchases as simple, accurate and in complete harmony with the Second Amendment right to own guns.
... If Democrats really believe that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System doesn’t interfere “in any way†with people’s constitutional rights to own a gun, doesn't it follow that the same system would not constitute an infringement on people’s right to vote? This would give Republicans a system for stopping vote fraud and Democrats a system that they have already vigorously endorsed.
I do not see a problem in this.
Confirming ones identity, I don't see how that is an infringement of ones rights.
A background check has nothing to do with ones right to vote.
I agree a background check does have no bearing on the rite to vote. But what I am in agreement with is that you should still be able to prove who you are to exercise that right to vote.
