Nope
Difficult too vote ????.....nothing could be easier....just check the box that says you're a citizen and bingo....you can vote....
NO Proof necessary......
Buying a gun REQUIRES a background check by the FBI, theres no check to vote....

vote and a gun dont reprepresent the same danger to you neighbor.
in other words
me voting poses no danger to your life.
me owning a gun poses a danger for you.
same as owning a vehicle.
I cant drive my vote over your lawn and break your homes walls.
so the NEED is not there
I also have a right to vote
there is no reason you can keep someone from voting in pretense that their vote can cause you harm.
YET
a gun and a car are pretty much the same danger level
how about we do the same as with a car to buy a gun?

not in voter ID states
Rest assured, you owning a gun poses no danger to me. You pose a greater danger to yourself with it, so, on second thought, own as many as you like.
Now you have gone from missing it to just being flat out wrong

Why should anyone lose their right to vote over something that isn't even a problem?
My State is one of those voter ID States. I have no problem voting. Seems to me only blacks and other minorities have a problem getting a valid ID while white people don't have such a problem.
au contraire... YOU voting presents a clear and present danger to all of us.

Just shows what a simpleton you are
Your vote is a bigger threat to me than you are with a gun.
If you have a gun I can shoot back
Your vote can strip me of property rights. That is more of a threat. Idiot
My State offered the almost 170,000 that didn't have a valid ID a free one AND a ride to get it. 25 accepted. Sounds to me the lazy pieces of shit couldn't vote because they're lazy not because someone kept them from voting.
Again, why do white people have no problem getting what blacks, etc. can't seem to do?

New Voting Restrictions in America
After the 2010 election, state lawmakers nationwide started introducing hundreds of harsh measures making it harder to vote. The new laws range from strict photo ID requirements to early voting cutbacks to registration restrictions.
Overall, 23 states have new restrictions in effect since then — 10 states have more restrictive voter ID laws in place (and six states have strict photo ID requirements), seven have laws making it harder for citizens to register, six cut back on early voting days and hours, and three made it harder to restore voting rights for people with past criminal convictions.
In 2016, 14 states had new voting restrictions in place for the first time in a presidential election. Those 14 states were: Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
In 2017, legislatures in Arkansas and in North Dakota passed voter ID bills, which governors in each state signed, and Missouri implemented a restrictive law that was passed by ballot initiative in 2016. Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, and New Hampshire have also enacted more restrictions this year, in addition to laws that were on the books for previous elections.
This page details the new restrictive voting requirements put in place over the last several years

I knew you'd agree you don't pose a danger to me if you own a gun.

You understand you have to have a background check AND an ID to buy a gun in all non-private transactions???
