I do not have a problem with background checks for gun purchases. To buy a gun at a gun show in Texas I have to go through the same check that I do to buy a gun in a gun store. I do not find it onerous. I do not find licensing for a CHL to be a problem. I find the class overly long, extremely boring and overkill, but the background check, though it could be sped up, doesn't actually bother me. I believe that we have
significant mental health screening issues that are not just dealing with gun ownership...
All that said, the 2nd Amendment guarantees our
right to bear arms and you're all for licensing, background checks, identification, mental health screening, etc.
But someone wants to ask for an ID to vote and you think that violates someone's rights?
