[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No need to show ID to purchase a firearm. It's a tax and govt "shall not infringe".[/quote]

Because we see what happens when *anyone* can get a gun, and particularly semi-automatic weaponry. Maybe the right to bear arms should only be for ball and powder muskets?[/quote]

Hey ummm CONSTITUTION.

You wanna be absolutist about it and falsely claim an ID is a poll tax, so it's also an infringement on bearing arms.[/quote]

DP.

If it costs you money to have to vote, it's a poll tax.

If it costs even a single penny to get the ID, because for example they require a birth certificate and you get charged for it, or they demand a passport, which you have to pay for, then it is a de-facto poll tax.

24th Amendment bans poll taxes in federal elections, and Harper v. Virginia Board of Education extended it to ALL elections, federal, state and local via the Equal Protection Clause.

The Court was extremely clear that if a voter must spend money to meet a voting requirement, then it's unconstitutional.

It's pointless to argue with them. Just by virtue of them being MAGA you know they can barely read or string together a coherent thought.

The courts have already decided what a poll tax is. Will that precedent hold in our new banana republic? We'll see. But there's no question that the SAVE act would be unconstitutional according to a faithful reading of our constitution and existing laws. [/quote]
