Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Better hope this Republican bill doesn't pass

If it does, most of you will lose your gun privileges.

Among those barred from buying guns are people legally determined to be "mentally defective" and those who have been committed to mental institutions.

However it is shocking that a Republican and NRA are supporting a gun control bill.

    Fuck off

    Someone struck a nerve. Are you mentally defective or you worried about your time in the mental institution?

    In other words, government fitness tests in order to exercise a constitutional protected right is fine. But requiring photo ID to vote isn't.

    I think in this case, Republicans are for both scenarios of restricting freedoms.

    I like to pretend that requiring proof that you can legally vote in an election requiring a background check to buy a gun constitutes a restriction of freedom. That's what I like to do.

    I like to start a thread about Republican and NRA sponsorship of a bill that would have states provide background information to the FBI for use in determining whether or not a person is fit to buy a firearm, then throw in a straw man argument that vetting the legality of voters is a restriction of freedom, and follow up by punking my original post. That's what I like to do.
    I like to use I like to, too much. I also like to throw out straw man when I clearly don't know what it means. Cause that's what I like to do.

    The state-issued ID WRT to voting rights is interesting.

    Personally, I don't think it is all that burdensome to have a state-issued ID.

    But it tends to be the anti-water-fluoridation/black helicopter types that insist that the Gummit is going to tattoo the Number of the Beast on our collective foreheads using state-issued ID.

    According to advocacy groups for minorities and the elderly, these populations are significantly more likely to NOT have a state-issued ID card. 11% of citizens do not possess a state issued ID card.

    http://www.propublica.org/article/everything-youve-ever-wanted-to-know-about-voter-id-laws

    Voter ID seems to be a solution looking for a problem - only 10 cases of voter impersonation have been documented among 2,068 voter fraud cases over the last 15 years, or one in 15 million voters.

    I call straw man.

    Since we don't really require citizens or illegals to provide a real ID for free services, maybe it's not too much to ask for them to provide an ID to participate in our democracy?

    I mean the hassle of having to wait in line at the DMV is simply cruel and unusual punishment.

    What purpose does it serve? Looking at the data, illegals aren't trying to vote without the requirement that voters present state-issued photo ID. We're just making life harder for minorities, cripples and the olds.

    Does anyone actually realize you have to document US citizenship during the voter registration process?

    You know you are a Republican when you think you have to show more evidence for who you are to vote than buy a gun.

    Not true but thanks for providing nothing to the discussion. You know 8 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were registered to vote? Didn't think so.

    The problem is not only unqualified people voting (i.e. illegals and felons), but is people voting the dead and destitute (i.e. Granny is in a retirement home and can't vote so somebody shows up at the pole for her or fills out here absentee ballet for her). Keep ignoring that simple fact.

    And keep a light shining on that IQ of yours...

    Did you know 8 out of the 19 highjackers were US citizens?

    I do like how you bash on my 8th grade education, then have some wild FS conspiracy theory about people voting for their grandma. Congrats, those 8 extra votes sure decided the election.

    No, they weren't. Zero were. Feel free to make up more bullshit.

    And I didn't bash your education...I bashed your IQ. You are just too dumb to realize the difference.

    And yes, its only 8 votes, even though places like Minnesota have had hundreds of people convicted of illegal voting. A better example is North Carolina, where they documented 35K people with the same first and last names and same birthdays registered both in North Carolina and another state that voted in the 2012 election.

    You really are dumb...it would be pretty amusing if it wasn't so sad.

    A separate report entitled "9/11 and Terrorist Travel," which was released in August 2004 by the commission’s staff, provides a breakdown of the identification documents of the 9/11 hijackers.

    According to that report, the hijackers collectively obtained driver’s licenses from Arizona, California and Florida, and state identification cards from Florida, Virginia and Maryland. Those same findings were presented in FBI reports in 2003.


    http://www.politifact.com/new-jersey/statements/2011/aug/28/kevin-otoole/state-sen-kevin-otoole-claims-some-911-hijackers-u/

    Why don't you mention that they also had driver's licenses? So tell me again how requiring ID helps?

    Provide a link on the 35k duplicate voters and relate that to actual votes cast illegally.
