    I call this post a baiting lie. Anyone with a gun knows you have to bring a drivers license or carry permit, and additionally fill out a 6 page form and wait for it to be reviewed and researched against multiple databases to confirm the purchaser has not lied on the form and has no background of felonies, certain misdemeanors, or mental defects. To vote, all you do is show up with your drivers license and wait your turn to get in the booth.

    How secure is the university ID, would be my question? Some could be cranked out by the truckload (photo on card stock, laminated in plastic) with stuff from Staples, some seem to have as much security as a state ID card (holograms, color-changing ink, barcodes, magnetic strips, etc).

    Explain, in detail, how an electric bill proves that I am the person named on said bill. Be specific.

    Actually, Massachusetts does NOT require photo ID (or ANY ID!) for collecting welfare and EBT benefits! They claim to, but allow people to "self-declare", which means that they really don't.

    And note: I did not need any sort of photo ID for any of my utilities!

    1) The reason Election Day is in November is because that was usually when the last crop of the season came in, so farmers could leave the farm and vote. The reason it's on Tuesday is so people can attend Church on Sunday, then start the commute to vote on Monday.

    2) It is beyond absurd that the United States does not require you to show proof that you're a citizen that is eligible to vote to be able to vote. The assertion that it disinfranchises minorities is just the left pulling the race card because they cannot defend being against voter ID.

    There are no assault weapons sold. There is no such thing as an assault weapon. They are firearms. It's only an assault weapon if you use it to assault someone.

    And this crap about being easier to obtain a firearm than to vote is just more propaganda from the anti-gun crowd. It is a bold face lie.


    You Are Required to Have an ID for
    Valid photo identification is required for the things that follow:

    adopt a pet
    purchase a home
    purchase an automobile
    purchase a gun
    voter fraud
    obtain a bank account
    obtain a credit card
    obtain a passport
    write a check
    make a credit card purchase
    apply for a loan to purchase anything
    to prove your age
    to get married
    to receive a marriage license
    to drive
    to buy a house
    to close on a house
    to get medical care
    to get on a plane
    to get insurance on anything
    to get a job
    to get a post office box
    to get a hunting license
    to get a fishing license
    to get a business license
    to cash a paycheck
    rent an apartment
    rent a hotel room
    rent a car
    rent furniture
    rent tools and equipment
    receive welfare
    receive social security
    receive food stamps
    buy cigarettes
    buy alcohol
    buy a bus ticket
    buy a cell phone
    buy any antihistimine
    go in to a casino
    go in to a bar
    go to college
    have your water turned on
    have your electricity turned on
    have your cable turned on
    have your gas turned on
    obtain trash pick up service
    pick up a package from the post office
    pick up a package from fed ex
    pick up a package from ups
    pick up a prescription
    apply for unemployment

    And these listed are just the tip of the iceberg...the list could go on and on.
    Things you do not have to have ID for:

    Vote.

    Having some form of photo ID is essential in our world today; you need to be able to prove you are who you say you are in countless situations. Why do liberals say it is racist to require identification to vote? By this same logic all these things listed here, as well as all the things I neglected to mention that require an ID to participate in are racist.

    Everyone sees straight through this, even the liberals that are accusing others of being racist. Liberals have set up countless organizations to cast illegal votes on their behalf and a ID verification would throw a huge monkey wrench into their plans to steal as many elections as possible through voter fraud.

    Remember ACORN in 2008???

    And I'm sorry that some morons CLAIM they find it difficult to get a photo ID, but if they do, they're prolly to stupid to vote anyway. How they could ever figure out those electronic voting machine's is beyond me.

    That is obviously not the case. But even though it is not, it should be.
    Weapons are what secures our right to vote. We need identification to make sure people do not vote twice, to make sure foreign citizens do not wield their influence. But, what about a weapon? Well, they already make sure those under 18 cannot buy a gun, so obviously they are checking identification when it is a young person. But what about foreigners? If they are in the USA, why should they not be able to buy a gun? If they are able to smuggle it through customs into their own country, they are also probably able to skirt any laws that tells them they are not allowed to buy one. With voting, it's all centralized at a single location... well except sometimes with vote-by-mail ballots, but maybe that needs to change

    From the OP article:

    WOW! I knew Babs wasn't that bright, but did she have to tell the world just how ignorant I think she really is? Ms. Streisand you said this:

    "A student without a driver's license essentially loses his/her rights while a gun owner, simply by owning a gun, does not."

    Everyone can see just how stringent the requirements are to get a CCW permit, there isn't a student on earth that has to verify who they are like that? I think it is totally ignorant to even ask why.
