Inconveniencing of citizens exercising some of their rights is ok, some not.

Or at least that's how I understand the GOP's hypocritical positions on voting on the one hand or buying guns without a background check on the other.
Republican shills for the NRA whine about how inconvenienced people will be if we try to find out whether they are felons or have other legal impediments to owning a gun.
But any number of GOP officials have done all they can to so inconvenience citizens from exercising democracy's cornerstone right, the right to vote, that they walk away.
The GOP, the party of guns on demand and voter suppression. How proud they must be.
