False equivalency. There are already a whole slew of restrictions on guns and gun ownership, while there are hardly any rules on voting. Go buy a gun, and you will see what I'm talking about. There are no background checks to vote or when you register.
Hardly a false equivalency. You have to fill out documents to register to vote. You have to fill out documents to buy a gun. Both documents are under penalty of perjury.
There is a check on registering to vote when the state sends out the voter registration card to the address given. This is from Idaho:
Quote: If the card is returned to the Post Office as undeliverable after 2 attempts, your registration could be rejected.
Most states have similar statutes.
I have to re-register to vote every time I move. Not only that, the state keeps a record of my address on file in order to vote.
Owning a gun and voting are both constitutional rights. You are demanding that one of those rights require a photo ID anytime I want to exercise that right. Why not the same anytime you want to exercise the other right?
