Dear Democrats, Since you've made it crystal clear that requiring an ID to exercise a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT is "disenfranchisement" and "the new Jim Crow," I have a proposal. The Second Amendment is a constitutional right. Voting is a constitutional right. You claim requiring ID to vote suppresses people from exercising their right. Okay. Then requiring ID to purchase a firearm suppresses people from exercising THEIR right. Same logic. Same constitution. Same argument. So here's my challenge to every Republican in Congress: introduce a bill TOMORROW that eliminates ALL identification requirements for purchasing firearms. No background checks. No ID. No waiting periods. Nothing. If Democrats truly believe that ID requirements prevent citizens from exercising constitutional rights, they'll HAVE to support it. Right? ...right? Watch how fast they twist themselves into pretzels. "Well, THAT'S different because—" No. Stop. It's not different. You don't get to argue that an ID requirement is an unconstitutional burden on ONE right but a perfectly reasonable safeguard for ANOTHER. That's not how the Constitution works. Either ID requirements disenfranchise people or they don't. Pick one. And let's be honest about what's really happening here. The party that created Jim Crow literacy tests, had a former KKK RECRUITER in Robert Byrd filibuster the Civil Rights Act for 14 hours, and segregated federal offices under Woodrow Wilson is now telling me that Black Americans can't figure out how to get a free government ID. India scans fingerprints for 1.4 BILLION voters. But apparently Americans are too helpless to show the same card they used to buy Sudafed on the way to the polls. The SAVE Act passed the House requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. Democrats fought it tooth and nail. Why? What POSSIBLE reason would you oppose verifying that voters are citizens unless you NEED non-citizens on the rolls? Quinn's Law #2: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing." They scream "voter suppression" while fighting every measure to secure elections. They're not protecting rights. They're protecting a system they can manipulate. So I'm dead serious. Put the bill on the floor. No ID for gun purchases. Call their bluff. Make them explain why an ID requirement is tyranny at the ballot box but common sense at the gun store. I'll bring the popcorn. But what do I know? I'm just a guy who thinks constitutional rights should be treated equally — not selectively — depending on which ones the left finds politically convenient.
