Musings about background checks.
« on: November 01, 2013, 10:05:09 PM »
If I understand correctly, in order to purchase a firearm in most places, at least from a dealer, you have to present ID to prove who you are and be subjected to a background check that supposedly determines things like whether or not you have mental issues.

Maybe I’m wrong about the above. Correct me if I am.

A bullet fired from the firearm, while dangerous, only has a limited range. For instance, a person (or even a group of people) who fires a firearm in Oregon can not harm a person in Texas.

Voting, on the other hand, is a completely different matter. A person voting in Oregon can indeed harm a person in Texas.

With that in mind, which should require an ID to prove your identity and a background check?

Throw motor voter and owebumacare into the mix. Both will register new voters, and have no real safeguards on preventing illegals from registering.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
