This is going down a dangerous path. If you have to have a background check to exercise your rights then somebody could require a background check to vote (some states don't allow ex-convicts to vote after all).
- krapp 1y agoAll of your rights are conditional, and always have been. Removing the ability of convicts to vote is established by the Constitution (indirectly, but it's still there.) Access to firearms has been regulated as far back as the writing of the Second Amendment, and it was understood as necessary at the time even within the British common law it was based on. Having that right apply to personal defense wasn't even a thing until 2008.
- ImJamal 1y agoI am not saying that removing exconvicts ability to vote is dangerous. I am saying a state could require a background check since somebody could be an exconvict from another state. Imagine requiring a background check every year to vote.
