BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite for signing a law barring local governments from requiring voter identification, while still expecting gun buyers to provide ID before exercising their Second Amendment rights.
In California, you need ID to buy a gun, and also proof of residence to buy a handgun.

If voter ID laws are somehow too confusing or racist, then why wouldn't the same logic apply to gun laws? https://t.co/xNbHQ6q0PB
Democrat Newsom is a career anti-gunner who has supported every gun control measure to come along in Sacramento. He has proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would gut the Second Amendment. His end game is to make gun laws as personally invasive as possible simply to deter Californians from exercising their right to keep and bear arms.
On the other hand, the bill he signed bars local governments from enacting local ordinances requiring residents to provide valid identification in order to vote in municipal elections. The new state law was aimed at Huntington Beach, but affects all other California cities.

“Gavin Newsom’s hypocrisy evidently knows no limits,” said CCRKBA Managing Director Andrew Gottlieb. “Demanding background checks and positive identification to buy a gun, but not requiring ID to vote essentially treats the Second Amendment as a second-class right, and the U.S. Supreme Court has already made it clear that sort of double standard is off the table.
“The notion that requiring voter ID somehow places obstacles in the path of certain groups is ludicrous,” he observed, “because Newsom hasn’t protested about obstacles placed in the way of gun buyers, regardless their age, race or economic status. Indeed, he’s all for making it as tough as possible for law-abiding Golden State residents, no matter who they are, to legally purchase or own firearms.
“If identification is required to exercise one fundamental right,” Gottlieb said, “it should be required for all rights, and vice versa. There should be no double standards, which is now the case in California. Andi-gunners like Newsom invariably say things are different when it comes to guns, but we’re not talking about guns, we’re talking about rights.”

I live in pa you have to show an id to get hunting license and fishing license.that’s a lot of bull but you don’t need a I’d to vote
Well of course he has no problem with putting obstacles in the way of buying and owning a firearm. He would put a huge obstacle course in the way if he could. There is only one reason why anyone would not want voter ID. It is because they want people to vote who are not legally eligible. There is no racism or “groups” of people who can’t get an ID. They say the minorities don’t know how to get an ID or use the internet. THAT is a racist statement!
and how does one get medicare, food stamps, loan forgiveness, housing, ect ect without an id…..just a bs excuse to further their agenda.
whats the next step……. arming migrants to take care of the gun problem……
