....in the great state of Texas, it’s easier to buy an automatic weapon than register to vote

....in the great state of Texas, it’s easier to buy an automatic weapon than register to vote and a gun permit is considered proper ID but a University student ID, not so much. Because the 2nd Amendment trumps the 14th,15th & 19th Amendments. Always has. Always will. Simple math.

And no, not even paid investigators could find more than thirty examples of voter fraud in the entire country over the last 15 years, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. You can’t see gravity either, but all your fancy liberal scientists agree that’s going on all the time, right? Same thing here. Only different.

And what responsible citizen doesn’t have a driver’s license? Do you really think people who aren’t allowed to drive should be able to vote? Have you taken a bus lately? What’s next? You going to open up elections to homeless people? You know what they’re going to vote for: free whiskey.

These series of incremental electoral fine- tunings are intended to curtail chicanery, not democracy. That the individuals most impacted are the young and the poor and the elderly, who can reliably be counted on to vote Democratic- is just a co-incidence. Besides, most of them don’t pay taxes. In this country, the patriotic thing to do is encourage the givers, not the takers. Otherwise, you’re not supporting the troops.

DUmmy Kpete, even after being shown the error of his ways, refuses to edit his OP.

At least some of the DUmmies get it right.

1. I do not believe this statement to be true.

A federal permit is needed to buy an automatic weapon. This includes an extensive background check and a a federal license that costs $200. This has been a federal law since 1934.

13. Try going to a gun show and buying an automatic weapon.

Highly doubtful you'd even find one, much less one for sale, automatic weapons are very tightly controlled and very expensive to purchase and the FBI background check can take up to 6 mos.

Starting price for a run of the mill auto weapon is about $15,000.

2. Absolutely false.

There are currently 37 states here in the U.S. that allow the possession of automatic weapons. The requirements are that you submit an application to BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco &, Firearms & Explosives. As part of that application a complete criminal background investigation is done and you must submit a set of current fingerprints as part of the process.(Finger Prints fee's vary from $15-$20 depending on the state of residence)

Once approved, you will be required to pay a one-time fee of $200 for a Federal Tax Stamp per weapon (There are NO, REPEAT NO additional FEE'S,Dealer's Licenses or anything additional required!!)

With the GCA of 1986 (Gun Control Act) Civilians are not allowed to posess fully automatic weapons unless they were manufactured prior to 1986. The weapons manufactured before 1986 are "Grandfathered" meaning they can still be LEGALLY transfered thru a licensed/bonded Class III NFA Weapons Dealer.NO fully automatic weapons made after 1968 are legal for civilians to own or possess.

In addition the permit once issued requires that the permit be with the registered licensed weapon at all times and especially when transported. You must also show proof that the registered weapon is stored in a safe or locked container that meets BATFE guidelines. Issuing the Permit also allows BATFE to make a personal inspection of your residence or storage area once annually.(Usually announced prior by appointment)

And you say it is tougher to register to vote than get an automatic weapon???

20. Actually, that's not true at all.

Hyperbole rarely works when making an argument.

Another anti gun DUmmy putting his foot in his mouth.

If you are a lib, and a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment, you will have to put up with a lot of grief from your fellow libs.
I just don't think there are very many who are both, if any at all.

An ID is required for gun purchases and voting in Texas. How can one be harder than the other?  Oh that's right, there are more stringent background checks on buying guns.

College  IDs should not be acceptable forms of ID for voting, since they are issued by the college and normally don't list your home address.  You can't tell who lives out of state by looking at college IDs.

Excellent observation, just because one has a college ID doesn't mean they're a resident of Texas.

That is a big reason I don't like same day registration and GOTV drives on college campuses.  It makes it too easy for someone to vote at the college where they are temporarily living and also be able to vote at their home even if they are from out of state, by absentee ballot or early voting.

DUmmies want to know if you have a license/permit for that thing.

LOL. 
I'll never tell.

All those DUmmies just outed themselves as moles. No way a lib knows all that about guns.....you know, facts. 



MOLE!!!!

Just FYI, kpete (Also known as Kaputt, Kutpaste, and a few other variations here and on CU) is a 'She,' a brainless trophy wife of some rich dipshit in Kalifornistan, who almost never posts content she actually wrote, but instead cut-n-pastes stupid moonbat BS from all over the stupid moonbat internet universe, under the mistaken impression that her ritualistic posting behavior somehow equates to 'Thoughts.'

[Ralph Wiggum]

It would be easier & less time-consuming to post a list of things that DUmmies actually know about.  We've come up with literally thousands of things they have no clue about, from automatic weapons to how to make a grilled cheese.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

Not very high.
Plus they're not big supporters of the 2nd amendment. They don't want to own their guns. They want to own yours. Why pay when you can steal ?

Gun people have helped DUmmies make this mistake.

"Automatic" has always been shorthand for "semi-automatic".

When I was a kid, a Remington 1100 or a Winchester Model 50 or a Remington 740 was invariably called an automatic.

A Colt 1911 was always a 45 automatic, and its ammunition is officially called 45 ACP, "for automatic colt pistol".

It's wrong, but it helps DUmmies consistently sound ignorant.

It's sort of like calling democrat women "ladies".

Or calling Democrats "Democratic".

There was a guest (I wish I caught his name) on Hannity today who was hilarious.  Now that Texas Voter ID law has been upheld (why not in WI I have no idea), the guest said that now that we know the dead will not be voting democrat as a bloc, the Republicans should work on the dead vote and not just give it to the rats.

I was LOL but it seemed to shoot right past Hannity.

I think it is the other way around -- it is the democratic party and they hate being called democrat.

I think you missed the point. Democrats have more in common with socialists or communists than with Democratic government.
