114. How do you figure?

Really. Lets hear it. How do you figure that a literacy test or psych eval (at individual voter's expense) to vote is an apples to orange comparison to a psych eval (at individual firearms owner's expense) to own a firearm?

Technically there is one difference - ownership of weapons is a protected right, whereas voting is a privilege and responsibility.

Perhaps you'd prefer having to pay a special tax on printer's ink and printing presses to cover potential environmental impact (both chemical and noise) if one wishes to publish a newspaper? After all, there's no restriction on the right just on the tools of the right...


You are advocating an means/competency test and expense which can be used to subjectively bar the exercise of a right. Nothing more.
