I'd like to state what I feel to be a fairly accurate observation while not affiliating myself with any political party: It's been very obvious to me that those who are most vociferous about requiring every last voter show proof that he/she has a right to vote in this country are generally the first ones to recoil in horror at the thought of gun owner registration and background-check laws. Say what?

I keep seeing my observation becoming more and more apparent -- while I'm not stating my political affiliation.
