This seems to me to be the most ridiculous part of the process, (not that it isn't full of overreach) I would think that this would open up a black market, for the more proficient writers, to sell essays which had gotten approval. Sort of like term papers for students do now.

Seems like requiring reading skill to be able to vote. Now you need to have writing skills as well. Couldn't some "disadvantaged minority" claim discrimination? Wish S&W and Savage would vote with their feet. Follow Magpul's lead.

This is a good point. If a voter ID law is discriminatory because a lot of minorities can't get a picture ID, then how is an essay requirement not also discriminatory. I'm sure the ACLU will be all over this.

Oh wait. I forgot that the ACLU is only interested in supporting liberal endorsed civil liberties nowadays.

The process is ridiculous, obviously. But I would have had a good time writing the essay. I likely would have felt compelled to quote the Federalist papers, and to go into a lengthy dissertation on the events leading up to the founding of this country. Maybe start with why I would like to please have the privileges of voting, practicing my religious beliefs, and speaking my mind on political topics. Then I would explain why I believe that I should be "allowed" to exercise my natural human right to keep and bear arms.
