Gun Control and voter fraud
It's occurred to me..
A lot of people on the right say we can't do anything to make getting a gun less convenient to obtain because it's a right. That these fire arms are the most often used weapon in homicides (especially mass homicides) is not relevant.
However it also seems many of these same people also want tougher laws to make voting (also a right) harder to do to stop voter fraud.
So just how many people a year are killed by voter fraud?
Yes i know, many here will say they oppose both. But many (the loudest if not the bulk) of those over all that oppose laws for the first clearly also want laws for the second.
(in short, if this doesn't apply to you, don't assume it can't apply in general)
Just a thought.
