IDs for Beer but Not for Ballots?

The big thing for me is there are as many as 13,000,000 illegals on the US and yet without a photo ID law, how can we comfort ourselves that they cannot vote. I’d venture there aren’t a million people in this country without a photo I’D compare to the illegals who might be able to vote. Where do we go to prevent that from happening?

One has to prove identity (birth certicate) to sign up to serve in the military, why can’t the same be expected of voters?

I think last year they found ONE in SC. I think, too, that later investigation proved she actually has an ID.

Could be wrong, though.

That’s not what Irish Guard said.

...to be able and purchase legally a gun but not to have to show an ID is ridiculous. How is the gun shop to know, that you are not a criminal and have the legal right to own a gun.

...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

I'm not sure where you think criminals are not people. But what part of "not be infringed" are you missing. It seems that the framers did not think it ridiculous, but then they were not brainwashed by Eric Holder.
