Harder to Vote, Easier to Buy Guns

You have more difficulty buying certain anti-histamines than you do buying guns. You are limited to purchasing 24 capsules of Claritin-D per month and have to show picture ID to do it; but you can buy all the guns and bullets you want without ID if you go over the internet or through a friend to do it.

Marijuana? Don't go there.

You run into more hurdles exercising your ability to vote than you do to buy a gun.

Bought a car recently? I did. Paid cash. I had to submit more proofs of this and that, sign more documents, attest to more information than I would to buy guns or ammunition.

You have to comply with the REAL ID Act to renew your Driver's License, but can bypass ID laws (internet or friend to friend purchase) to buy a gun.

You can't open a bank account without giving your Social Security Number and driver's license information, but you don't have to disclose your Social Security Number to get a gun.

Ever win big at a casino? You have to fill out more documents and prove more to collect winnings over $1,000 than you do to buy a gun.

You have more trouble taking a dog into a restaurant than you do buying a gun.

You can encounter more impediments in buying alcohol than you do to buy a gun.

Likewise, buying tobacco can be more difficult than buying a gun.

You have more trouble accessing health care than you do purchasing a gun.

You have to pass a background check to work in a hospital or teach in a school, but it's not necessary for every gun sale.

Here's something. Shot guns used for hunting animals are limited to 3 shells to give the animals a chance, but guns used for killing people have no limits at all?

Why is it "OK" to say it's acceptable to put barriers up to vote, but it's not "OK" to have a common sense approach to guns?

I am aware that the U.S. Constitution doesn't define who can vote so much as it defines who can't be prevented from voting. I understand the Constitution doesn't explicitly address a lot of things. I'm also aware that the 2nd Amendment explicitly states:

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
I get the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed bit, but whatever happened to the "well regulated" part?

What we have isn't well regulated at all. It's the wild west everywhere in the U.S.

This is wrong.
