There we go again, with the whole list of things you need ID for, that have nothing to do with voting except in the minds of right-wingers who can't seem to distinguish between the right to vote and, say, the right to buy tobacco and alcohol.

Tell you what: don't impede my constitutional right to vote and I won't ever use tobacco or alcohol again; you can have it all and I wish you the joy of it.

Funny how these rugged individualist right-wingers don't think of themselves as having an identity without their wallet full of IDs!

Do two possible cases of voter fraud justify imposing new restrictions on 318,000 registered voters who don't have ID, 155,000 voters who registered at the polls, and a majority of voters who voted early?...Do a couple of mass shootings justify the infringement of another civil right, exercised by 100,000,000 plus citizens, which is enshrined in the 2nd amendment?"

Another typical wingnut moral comparison, a couple of people voting fraudulently and a couple dozen people shot dead.

What does justify a good, long, hard look at the Second Amendment is not just the occasional mass shooting, but the daily grind of gun killings in this country -- one here, two there, three somewhere else, adding up to tens of thousands in a year -- that we've gotten so used to that it takes a huge mass shooting in one venue to get our attention. That is what is "enshrined" in your Second Amendment, and it needs to be amended.
