Ridiculous.....first off.....YOU are the one making this a race issue.....I'm claiming that VOTER ID is not so much about mysterious mass voter fraud that no one seems to be able to prove beyond a few isolated incidents...but it's about making it more difficult for poor people(who tend to vote Dem) to vote.....just because more minorities are poor than whites, doesn't make the bigotry racial. Otherwise....Wisconsin wouldn't have pulled what they did. Firearms are different....legally, you cannot own firearms if convicted of a violent crime or have severe mental illness. Plus....voting hasn't killed anyone directly. If you allegedly believe in Freedom....why does your "Freedom Gene" begin and end with firearms? There's a hell of a lot more evidence of people buying firearms through private purchases and States that have "relaxed" gun show policies than there EVER was of voter fraud.
But yet you support voter ID and oppose Toomey/Manchin. The biggest issue I have with Toomey/Manchin is that it puts an unfair burden on citizens in rural States. In my state(PA), you can find a firearm dealer without much hassle who can do the check(which I think should be free). But in Montana, or Alaska....or some other "wide open spaces" state....you may have to travel hours to get to a FFL. Perhaps the two(voter ID and firearms check) could be married? IIRC, if you are a felon, you can't do either. If you are arrested of a felony offense, they pull your ID until your trial....if you are convicted, they destroy it....if you are acquitted, they return it.
