So, after work today I was perusing the wire services to see if any reporters actually committed journalism (I know, I know, but hope springs eternal) and I came across a couple of articles that caught my attention. In the first one it seems that the VA legislature thinks that their current voter ID law isn't strong enough. It needed to be tightened up so it would only include photo ID's (you know, like a driver's license). In the second article, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre was making the argument that requiring someone to register their firearm would inevitably lead to the infringement of rights of law abiding citizens.
And then I had a thought...
If the government can require me to register and basically get a license to vote, why the hell would anybody be upset about having to do the same thing to own a firearm?
