It is time to have a real talk about controlling access to weapons of mass killing. If the right to vote can be restricted by requiring multiple forms of ID and proof of residency, why is it unconstitutional to require the same when someone wants to buy a semi-automatic or automatic weapon, or a kit that turns a simple rifle into a weapon with one purpose: killing as many PEOPLE as possible in the shortest possible time.
