CDZ Should we require criminal background checks before people can vote in elections?

[2aguy]

In most states it is against the law for felons to vote. So...according to the policies of the democrat party, who want gun control background checks before the exercise of the 2nd Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms to make sure that felons don't buy guns.......should we require that all citizens who want to vote pass a criminal background check before they vote in each election?

Again, in most states, felons can't vote...so a background check is necessary to make sure they don't vote...dittos illegal aliens, who are essentially breaking the law by being in the country illegally.

As the anti-gunners tell us.....background checks don't keep people from buying guns, so what is the big deal....so what would be the big deal if background checks were required to vote?

Considering the damage votes can do to a country, it is just common sense...right?

 

[S.J.]

It wouldn't be enforced in states that have Dem control. Just like the requirement that you must be a citizen in order to vote.

I am for it. If it prevents another Trump from being elected I am all for background checks. Given Trump's penchant for fraudulent schemes, we would have been saved his disastrous presidency. Go for it!

 

[Montrovant]

Even assuming your argument is accurate, there is a big difference between the two things: voting is time-restricted.

Couldn't tell that by the Democrat reactions in 2016... Rotflmbo.

First, we need to background check the candidates.

That and IQ tests to breed.

I don't know where you're from but I registered to vote and they keep a list of eligible voters they check when I go to vote. Seems reasonable and doesn't interfere with my right to vote. So what's the problem with gun registration again?

They should start using facial recognition for all identifications. Of course Democrats who depend on illegal aliens and illegal voting will protest and the sanctuary cities who protect these criminals won't follow the law but facial recognition technology could be the answer to many of our security and fraud issues.

To answer your question at the top of your thread, a resounding YES!

Nothing but Democrat socialist communist type thinking found in your words spoken here, where as the Democrat way is to punish all of society for the bad actions of other's. Everyone must get a trophy or be accepted even when being bad, and if not, then just bring all of society down into the frey with'em just to make it fair. How sick is this bullcrap way of thinking ?

Unfortunately, Barron is about 20 years away from being old enough to become President Trump. He's taller than his father, and he's still growing. They say his iq is 168. Whoa!

Barron is QUITE the young man. He's a chess champion and wise beyond his years. And he's a handsome young man, as well. The future looks mighty bright for him!

Do you think we need speed limits on our roads or can everyone be trusted to drive responsibly?

The trouble with your type of thinking is that you are essentially waiting for someone to act irresponsibly before reacting. This means innocent people will be harmed before any action it taken. As my sainted mother used to say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

So.....you just make the person get the background check 24 hours before they vote......or 72 hours like they do to buy a gun.......

No....not registering.....a complete criminal background check, the same used to buy a gun......and if you don't get the background check done, you don't vote....

And yet 27 years of gun experiments in this country show you are wrong....speed limits don't stop people who want to speed from speeding...they define the consequences if you speed......gun laws don't stop criminals, they define the punishment for using a gun illegally......

Over the last 27 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 18.6 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...


-- gun murder down 49%

--gun crime down 75%

--violent crime down 72%

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
