Easy big fella.... sorry to "steal your thunder" lol but I MEANT that it would have been easy for me to vote by mail ONCE if I preferred and nothing more.
When you purposely set up the ID to have a disparate effect on people of color it is. Me and others have said if it is the responsibility of the government to issue every eligible voter and ID then everything's cool but you people won't do that.
So any lone wolf, rogue voter can show up to a school with a ballot in hand and massacre everyone in sight? Ahh yes, those damned Armalite Ballot 15s (or AB-15s for short).
Yeah, if it was really a problem then republicans could easily demonstrate why a voter ID is needed. So far they haven’t which should tell any rational person it’s not an issue to be concerned about.
1. Bullshit, you act as if rural voters and minority voters are too stupid to get a photo id, talk about veiled racism.
Where did I say they're stupid?
These aren't bugs, they are features. People like that shouldn't be allowed to vote. No sane person would allow someone like that to vote in a way that is against their own best interest. Selfishness is good. If you don't work for your own interests and be damned about the interest of losers, you will be eaten alive. You want to be first in the lunch line. This is human nature or what capitalism creates. Who knows or who cares. I me me mine is where it's at. And don't tell me that makes me bad. Just look at all the losers. You can have that life style.Where did I say they're stupid?
If the nearest DMV is 2 hours away, and a driver's license is required as a valid ID, that puts you at a disadvantage compared to someone who lives 5 minutes from multiple DMVs.
A driver's license has a cost associated with it. While it isn't "huge", it nonetheless is a fee that acts as a barrier to voting, which disadvantages poor people who may then have to choose between registration and food, shelter, transportation to work, or other fundamental necessities.
Many elderly simply elect not to drive, so they don't have a license because they don't need one. But now they can't transport themselves, so they need public transit systems of some kind. And because our public transit is shit, registration also becomes difficult.
Because minorities are more likely to be poor and/or underserved, they are very much disproportionately affected by one or more of the above.
Nothing to do with intelligence or lack thereof, and everything to do with the systematic barriers that have been purposefully setup to prevent certain demographics from participating in voting.
The great irony is that remedying these things would making voting easier for EVERYONE.
Very conveniently, the ACLU has a handy dandy fact sheet.
And unlike so many conservative organizations that add "freedom" or "patriot" to their name, the ACLU actually does work to protect civil liberties, even in very unpopular cases.

Let me paraphrase Taj
Rural people are more ignorant than anybody else in this country by ratio. Just look at who they vote for. It's not disputable by any means.
You're talking to a literal shit stain on humanity who enjoys being a shit stain and ignores reality because they want to be a shit stain. These people are irredeemable horrible creatures, it's bad enough we have to live with them let alone have them have disproportionate power in this countryWhere did I say they're stupid?

Eight in 10 Americans Favor Early Voting, Photo ID Laws
Gallup polling shows majority support for election-law policies that make voting easier and opposition to those that make voting harder -- with the exception of photo ID requirements.
80% + support voting id laws, even a majority in YOUR own party support it. Sorry to introduce facts when you're just trying to be a douche.
I think everything depends on why you want to buy a rifle. The difference between a SCAR 17 and a 22 rifle is quite dramatic. If your reason for buying a rifle would be satisfied by a 22 rifle that would be a good reason to buy one in California and not the other. You can own a tubular mag 22 up to 18 rounds I believe. That would be like a traditional 22 rifle. It is probably the most common first gun that most people first shot when they were young and a good choice for a first rifle. It is massively less deadly than a SCAR a new US military standard designed to be effective against body armor. It is also far easier to carry.
Saw him in his debut tour, at the Laurel MD Pop festival. People just stood there in awe.
