Amish man sues to buy firearm without photo ID in gun rights, religious freedom

[funeralweb]

Since half of them have the same name and they all look alike, can't they just photoshop a disguised English pic onto a fake ID for their use, passing it around as needed? I'd like to see them fined for littering every time one of their horses s on the roads.

I thought the Amish embraced the philosophy of non-violence and pacifism??? Why would an Amish want a gun?

Ever heard of hunting?

Ever heard of hunting?

So he doesn't want a Glock?

Glad to see mrjarrel join the fight for religious freedom...

Now where is that thread about the gay couple wanting a wedding cake and the baker refusing to do it on religious grounds? Or the Kentucky County Clerk refusing to issue same sex marriage licenses based on the same?

The key to good biscuits and gravy is consistency...

Don't you need an ID for a job, benefits, and other areas where fraud would be high or to confirm your identity?

Stop being logical.

This decision can affect the voter ID law as well.

In what way?

One, voting is not a right that enjoys explicit constitutional protection against infringement.

Two, exercising the right to vote inherently includes the right to ensure that one's vote is counted properly, and not diluted by illegitimate votes being cast. The only way to ensure that rightful voters' ballots are properly counted is to ensure that every voter is a legitimate voter, and that every legitimate voter only votes one time.

Self-defense, by definition, is not "violence".

 

[chipbennett]

Yet, none of those are rights protected in the Constitution.

Neither is voting a "right" protected in the Constitution. Rather, the Constitution merely lists criteria by which one may not be disenfranchised.

I did not realize that they were allowed to sue. Maybe they can sue non-Amish.
