11. Pre-empt state laws to let me carry anywhere

May 2013

This is a no starter for the gun grabbers like me who already live in states that act somewhat sane about guns.
With 90% of voters supporting universal background checks, there is nothing that needs to be compromised.

And this sounds like we agree with the new voter suppression ID laws. When I go to vote, I sign my name in the poll book. I don't have to prove anything.
Comparing voting to gun ownership is ignorant and offensive.

"TALKING POINT: "you have to prove you are eligible to vote, but nobody records what votes you cast. This is the same.""
