It shouldn't be easier to buy a gun than to vote. Pass it on.

Background checks with ID to prove you are a valid voter for every ballot.
If you lie it’s 10 years in a federal prison.
Yes, 100% this. I’ll take it.

It’s funny how all the idiots saying that have never bought a gun. I remember the first time I took my wife to buy her a pistol, about halfway thru she up and left. Said to call her when it was ready and left me to finish the paperwork. Yeah, it takes fricking forever.
In NH, we have a “gun line” for handguns (or, say, AR lowers because they _could_ be made into handguns). Those calls go through the State Police.
My best time was 20 minutes; my worst time was 1:40. Some instant check.
NICS check with positive ID? I’m in!
15 or 20 item sworn affidavit before you can vote? Done.
Felony penalties actually enforced should you lie?
Dammit, gotta go change my shorts, now!
Um, on that last point: one of the scandals about NICS is that lying is not prosecuted. At least not more than a microscopic percentage of the time. Not that it’s all that common, but as I understand it it’s a lot more common than the single digit number of prosecutions.
Well… Perhaps we need to persecute the poll workers who allow those paperwork violations to occur. And voter information affidavits must be preserved for ten years on paper, then digitized so that the ‘govmint can probe your voting location history if anything odd is ever suspected…
“…we need to persecute the poll workers…”
I’m guessing that you mean “prosecute”, although I am open to persuasion. 8>)
Most prosecutors won’t even press felon-in-possession charges, despite all their noise about “getting guns off the street”. It’s not about disarming criminals.
During obammys rien it was less than 8% “felon attempt to purchase gun” prosecutored
Rob, on your point “it’s not about” — it’s easy to prove that.
All things being equal, prosecutors like to win cases. They like to talk about how many convictions they have obtained. So if the pass up felon-in-possession cases, which clearly are one of the easiest cases in the world to prove, there has to be a potent reason for doing so against their otherwise general inclinations.
Has anyone been to your local library lately? Make the requirements the same as getting a library card.
“But, but, you can get a plastic Glock AK-15 full semi-auto assault gun with a shoulder thing that goes up from the gun show loophole! The internet said so!”
And so many who believed this have found out to the contrary over the past year.
