Why? My only dream is that Donnie runs the country from prison. Poetic finish to the boomer generation.What should be banned, is convicted felons running for president.
We already have laws on the books against shooting people, but we still want laws against certain guns, certain ammo, certain mags, laws that say you can't bring guns to schools, no guns in banks, etc.
I mean why do we need a law against an AR-15 if it's already illegal to shoot people?

No argument here.Why do we need a law demanding proof of citizenship or ID's if it's already illegal to vote if you arn't a citizen.
Honestly trade. . . require government issued photo ID's nationwide for voting in exchange for a universal background check system on firearms including private sales with appropriate legal punishments for those who defy the system. If you sell a gun and it's used in a crime by someone else and you didn't do a background check. 5 years in prison, you are a felon and you arn't allowed to own guns again. If we find out that your gun was sold without a background check but wasn't used in a crime. You are fined 10% of your gross income from last year's tax returns.

How else do you confirm a potential voter's citizenship?..., I'll hang up and listen.
You are missing the point as it was in a reply to "Why do we need a law against AR15's if it's illegal to shoot people"
The idea in both cases is to prevent it from happening rather than just jail people afterwards.
I'm fully willing to have a nationwide requirement of a government issued photo ID to vote in exchange for a nationwide universal background check law which covers private sales and severely punishes those who sell without doing the background check. This would include gun registration so that we know who the hell sold the gun.
I didn't do a detailed dive on the proposed requirement, but how do states that primarily do mail in voting handle this?
So states can no longer do mail in voting if this passes?They don't,.. States are currently prohibited from asking for proof of citizenship...

And is (or has been tried) being ignored in some municipalities.additional food for thought: republicans passed a bill in the House that bans something that was already banned for federal elections.

Congress has no power or ability to tell states or municipalities how to run their elections. They only have input on federal elections.And is (or has been tried) being ignored in some municipalities.
Unfortunately for everyone in the U.S., there are blue states that give illegal aliens driver licenses making proof of citizenship essential to insure only citizens are voting.additional food for thought: republicans passed a bill in the House that bans something that was already banned for federal elections.
Some of those blue states only let the illegals vote in federal elections thoughUnfortunately for everyone in the U.S., there are blue states that give illegal aliens driver licenses making proof of citizenship essential to insure only citizens are voting.
I also find it strange that the left allows millions of people into the country illegally knowing many are drug dealers, child traffickers, criminals and terrorists, putting everyone at risk, while also doing everything possible to prevent voter ID and proof of citizenship. I wonder if there is a correlation between those two facts? 🤔
Then complain to those states. What the GOP-led House did will have no authority regarding that, even if it came up for a vote in the senate and signed into law to begin with.Unfortunately for everyone in the U.S., there are blue states that give illegal aliens driver licenses making proof of citizenship essential to insure only citizens are voting.

Thats not correct, i had to provide my SS# when i registered to vote.
House republicans should pass a bill that says it's illegal to murder people. No reason not to support that, right?additional food for thought: republicans passed a bill in the House that bans something that was already banned for federal elections.
Yup, but there are nuances to the current law. For instance, illegals here before the age of 16 are allowed to vote. Also, in states allowing non-citizens to vote in state or local matters, there must be separate ballots for the state/local elections and federal elections so that non-citizens don't have the opportunity to vote in federal elections. How is that enforced without knowing the citizenship status? If we do the research, it's probably by a signed statement under penalty of perjury. Who, exactly, follows up on that?additional food for thought: republicans passed a bill in the House that bans something that was already banned for federal elections.
So you know for a fact that non-citizens aren't voting in federal elections?Republicans...the party that can't address actual problems to save their lives but can come up with all kinds of "solutions" for problems that don't exist.
Maybe you didn't think this through, but requiring proof of citizenship would nullify an illegal with nothing more than a drivers license.Then complain to those states. What the GOP-led House did will have no authority regarding that, even if it came up for a vote in the senate and signed into law to begin with.
You haven't really thought about it much.No argument here.
You’re trying to argue with stupid.Why do we need a law demanding proof of citizenship or ID's if it's already illegal to vote if you arn't a citizen.

I'd be for this. Same fine for an ineligible person attempting to vote or allowing someone to vote who is ineligible.Why do we need a law demanding proof of citizenship or ID's if it's already illegal to vote if you arn't a citizen.
