He's pointing out that if one believes you should be able to vote without ID because it's a civil right, then you should also be able to buy a gun without ID because it's a civil right.
My guess is that he or she is saying that it's reasonable in both cases to require ID.
- lurquer 7y agoYou don’t need ID to buy a gun in the US. Private transactions are completely paper and record free. (Unless you are from some non-flyover state.) It’s only when you sell guns as a dealer that you are required to get ID and whatnot from the purchaser. (Even then, there is no penalty for BUYING the gun without ID; the penalty attaches to the SELLER.)
- sneak 7y agoQuite the opposite. I think it is unreasonable to demand government paperwork as a prerequisite for basic human rights. If it is not reasonable to demand an ID to blog or to vote, it is not reasonable to demand an ID to obtain arms.
