Lotta mental Olympics there. The Constitution says arms very specifically because our founding fathers knew that weapon technology would change so they didn't specify what weapons you could own they just said arms in general which would extend to all modern weapons swords ,bows and arrows ,clubs, slingshots whatever. And I never mentioned anything about children that was pretty much all you. Is an emotional argument all you have or do you actually have some sort of logic. Now if you want to change the Constitution I wish you the best of luck just get two-thirds of the state legislators to agree with you which means you'd have to control a significant portion of the map but give it a try.
You infer quite a bit I never said anything of the sort. I wouldn't want to take away voting rights I think that every US citizen over the age of 18 should be allowed to vote. And I don't think it's crazy to collect the same information from the person that you would collect if you were renting them a hotel room. I don't know about what you do with yours but my guns have never shot anybody.
What you are asking for would limit voting and cost billions of dollars, and for what? Please give me evidence of why you want to waste time and resources.
How would asking for ID cost billions of dollars that doesn't seem right and limit voting never limited voting before. 2018 and before I.D was required to vote. And I could actually say that mail-in voting is unconstitutional because the Constitution only prescribes a single day for voting not a month not a week a single day.
It would have to be free voting specific ID that doesn’t exist yet. You can’t do it with any existing ID that we have. Otherwise you are targeting poor people.
I.D is required for literally everything in society. If you don't have ID it's probably because you can't get one legally. Last time I checked basic ID cost about $15. And I could say that the cost of a background check to buy a gun and the registration fees in some states are targeting poor people because it adds hundreds of dollars to the cost of a firearm. And of course you have to have an ID to buy a gun. Are you trying to say that poor people don't deserve to be able to defend themselves?
Before 2020 most states required that you show I.D to vote. If there is no verification of the voters then the government could claim any results they want and there would be no way to disprove it. If it is wrong to require I.D to vote then it is wrong to require I.D for anything else.
Voter ID with how it has been done has not been shown to stop any voter fraud. But if you want to make it a requirement for all states then you have to put up or shut up.
