At the Lincoln Memorial today, with Pres. Obama – The First Gay President – sitting nearby, former President – The First Black President – Bill Clinton:
“A great democracy does not make it harder to vote than to buy an assault weapon.”

US Federal law requires people who want to purchase a firearm, hand gun or longer-barreled, not only to show government issued photo identification, but also to undergo a background check!
Is that more demanding than what is required simply to vote? How many of you routinely undergo a criminal background check when you go to the polls?

Lots of people have to crawl through lava to get a voter's I.D. And they can't even get one then. That's the problem.
