Why do conservatives want to make it easy to buy a gun...

I agree.

The funny thing about the left is in every instance but one they cry about being guilty until proven innocent, yet when it comes to gun rights they champion being guilty until proven innocent.

They have much the same cognitive dissonance when it comes to abortion.

I know I'm just a dumb foreigner, but if memory serves me correctly there is no right to vote per se enumerated by the U.S. Constitution - merely certain cases where the franchise cannot be denied to a person on the basis of a given characteristic (e.g., sex). By contrast, the right to bear arms is pretty clearly defined.

To hear DUmmies tell it, they're 300 amendments to the U S Constitution.

The one that I wasn't aware of is welfare is a civil right. They misconstrue the "Promote the general welfare" part from the preamble.

but think they are celebrating freedom by making it harder to cast a vote...

Both are rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Shouldn't they both be treated the same?

I'm all for that, let's have current government-issued photo ID requirements, FBI criminal records checks, and sworn certifications of all the facts establishing eligibility for voting!

And a property tax receipt.

What are they doing when they pass these laws? They can clearly see from past history that gun control laws don't work in favor of the law abiding citizen. I guess it's the stupid liberal mind set of just one more law, one more tax, just a few more dollars spent and it whould've/will work.

In my lifetime I have noticed that liberals are simply compelled to do the wrong thing in any given situation.

They are willing to let convicted felons to be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to purchasing but are scrutinized when the try to get into the voting booth.

That's a bit of a lie there.  I have no trouble denying a convicted murderer, rapist, or armed robber the right to own a firearm.
