2. I never have to show proof when I vote in New York. n/t

3. And when you registered?

4. I probably did when I registered, but it wouldn't have been a picture ID back then.

5. Meaning the right to pack an assault weapon is more important than the right to

6. I've purchased a couple of simple hand guns
