The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Texas in its effort to restore its strict voter identification law...

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last year by a 9-6 vote that Texas had violated the federal Voting Rights Act based on testimony that Hispanics were twice as likely and blacks three times more likely than whites to lack an acceptable ID under the law. Lower-income Texas residents also were more likely to lack necessary documents to obtain a free state voting ID, according to experts who supported the challenge...
So even requiring someone to have an ID to exercise their 15th Amendment rights is an infringement of that right. But REQUIRING an ID and having to obtain government permission to obtain a firearm and having to receive (and pay) for government mandated training to carry that firearm and being told by the government where you can and cannot carry that firearm apparently is NOT an infringement of the 2nd Amendment.

Amazing how so many people don't see a problem with that at all. :banghead:
My question is which side are you upset about? Do you want to require ID for voting, or not require ID to keep and bear arms. (Note, there is a difference between purchasing and owning).
