Why Not Require a Second Amendment ID?

Kris Kobach, Kansas secretary of state, has disenfranchised 17,000 voters who didn’t produce their birth certificates. By Election Day Nov. 8 he hopes to disenfranchise as many as 50,000 voters.

Kobach and other Republicans demand that we show our birth certificate and get a voter ID as proof we’re American citizens with a constitutional right to vote.

So when are Republicans going to demand that we show our birth certificate and get a Second Amendment ID as proof we’re American citizens with a constitutional right to buy a gun?

Bullets or ballots?


Surely at least as much documentation should be required to get access to a military-style semi-automatic rifle as to get access to a ballot.
