In reply to the discussion: More on "reasonable" gun laws. [View all]gejohnston

There are regulations and hurdles for you to vote as well (and in fact they are becoming a great deal more difficult for this Presidential election). In many states you must register to vote before a certain date- if you miss it, you probably won't get to vote.
None of them are anything like the DC gun maze. The voting requirements are becoming more difficult in a few states where the right wing took over the state government and want to stay there. These voter suppression laws are designed keep certain groups of people from voting like working class, elderly, and the poor.
The question is, is DC basically doing the same thing with guns? We are saying yes. We hear all of the time about "reasonable and sane laws" with out ever defining "reasonable and sane" even when asked. Most of these people have little or no knowledge what US and their state laws are and not the slightest clue about the laws of the countries they point to, as you demonstrated below. We are saying that DC's process is unreasonable.
