Voter ID - Remember When The GOP Went Nuts Over Photo ID's to Purchase Hand Guns? [View all]

Suddenly photo ID's are all the rage amongst the "small government" group.


It was in the 2000 campaign that the NRA went after Democratic candidate Al Gore with a vengeance built up over years of confrontation with the Clinton administration and its “jack-booted government thugs,” as others put it.

The Moses of gun rights may have had too regal a bearing to use such incendiary words. But in attacking a Democrat who favored mandatory photo ID licenses for future handgun buyers, Heston held little else back. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/23985685/ns/today-entertainment/t/heston-was-public-face-gun-rights/#.T1pziudZAs0
