Bill Clinton: Voting should be as easy as buying an “assault weapon”
Hot Air ^ | August 28,2012 | Ed Morrissey

Have we reached consensus on voter-ID? At this afternoon’s rally in honor of the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech, former President Bill Clinton waggled his finger once again and zinged gun-rights activists, saying that voting should not be harder to do than buying an “assault weapon.” Since those purchases require a picture ID and usually a five-day waiting period, most gun-rights and voter-ID supporters would probably agree (video via Twitchy):

One Assault Weapon, One Vote.
Think I actually agree with the dress stainer on this one.

He wasn’t talking to us.
He was talking to the Low Information Voters who think you can buy firearms and ammo from vending machines.

Nope it should be harder. A vote has shown to do far more damage and kill more innocent people.

I agree. You should have a clean record, undergo a background check, and provide photo ID to vote.

Was he surrounded by his armed Secret Service detail when he said it?

Might be the cheesiest ‘zing’ I’ve ever heard since most conservatives would probably agree. Let’s do it! Background checks, can’t vote after committing a felony or have mental problems. The democrats wouldn’t win another election.

Voting should be as easy as buying an “assault weapon”. In what state? New York? Or in what city, Chicago?

The low end voter probably buys their weapons from
the trunk of a car...

William the Impeached touched an AK once, after the movie “Air Force One” came out.

He had to be reminded what it was: a banned weapon.

Little did he realize, his anatomy was about to be banned, too...

I didn’t know I could buy an assault rifle by walking into a store, plunking down the cash, and walking out... all while wearing a full gorilla suit and never showing an ID

because people voted just like that (minus the cash) in 2012

and yes, there’s video
