Anyone who wants to restrict 2nd amendment rights in any way is no conservative period.

Who says I want to restrict 2nd amendment rights in any way? If you can’t trust someone to have a gun, don’t let them out of prison. And don’t let them vote in prison, either. Let those who are out of prison buy guns without forcing everyone to prove their non-criminal. And change sentences so that people you don’t want buying guns, don’t get out of jail.

But, insofar as we presently have background checks for firearms transfers, nothing is lost if background checks are made a requirement for voting. Note that some people have claimed that having to show ID to vote amounts to “voter intimidation.” I wouldn’t mind hearing some politician claim that so much as having to show ID to buy a gun, let alone enduring a criminal background check, amounts to “intimidation” of those attempting to exercise their Second Amendment rights. After all, voting is an important right, but so is gun onwership.

Do you still think I’m a low-information conservative who is just too stupid?
