I mean I kind of wish you had mentioned specific examples.

For instance one of the problems with the voter id laws is they require one to get documents one may not be able to get. ( a birth certificate for the elderly for example)

I don't know of a similar restriction/issue with obtaining a gun. Maybe there is and I am just unaware. But without specifics I can't make an argument for or against.

But I do know there are ways around purchasing a gun from an FFL (straw purchases, gifting, ect) and that would seem to make the claim less relevant.
