I think they're asinine. You shouldn't have to get fingerprinted or apply for a permit to exercise a fundamental Right, let alone a Protected one.

If someone said you needed a permit to exercise Free Speech, people would lose their minds.

One is limited to a specific group of US citizens and by age, plus eligibility..,, Im sure you know that, and there is a common reason for fraud....elections have consequences and big payouts for those that WIN

The other is afforded to all citizens.

Second, NOW your using the word ID, before you advocated permits and licenses ..Huge difference.
Show ID to prove you're a resident and over 18.. sure.... Ask permission from the State and BUY a permit, NO

You do need an ID to purchase a firearm from a licensed vendor.

What Rc Layne said. You DO need an ID to purchase a firearm. It's called your state-issued driver's license or military ID card.

I don't know about anyone else, but I also have to show that same state-issued driver's license (or state-issued ID card if one doesn't have a driver's license) to vote.

not in favor of any handgun laws or any firearms laws at all. With the exception of explosives. explosives are different from firearms as we all know. That should be regulated. I consider any handgun law or firearm law it illegal. I will not follow any law. I have natural rights

so we should have laws governing voting which is also constitutionally protected but not for firearms?

Not a fan of having to obtain a license, simply to own a handgun. Definitely not a fan of the fingerprinting and background check requirements. I think that would all be reasonable for a concealed carry permit, but not simply to own a handgun.

That's a good point on concealed carry, and I hadn't thought about it that way. Doesn't change my stance, but it's a valid point that may sway some people. I just think that if people are going to be out in public carrying a concealed weapon wherever they go, there should be some vetting process. It's one thing if you're keeping it on your own private property, but that changes when you go out into public spaces. Just my $0.02.
