The big difference between liberals and conservatives is what they want to regulate.  Liberals want to regulate almost everything.  Conservatives want to limit regulations to things that really matter.

Liberals want to regulate McDonald’s happy meals.  They want to regulate the food served in school cafeterias.  They want to regulate the size of soda cups in New York.  In San Francisco, they even want to regulate the use of paper bags.  Business owners in San Francisco have to charge customers for using a paper bag.  If you can define a problem, a liberal can come with a regulation.  Liberals want to regulate everything, with only two important exceptions.

The first is abortion.  Liberals are opposed to any attempt to regulate abortion.  They feel so strongly about this that an underage girl can get an abortion without even notifying her parents.  The school nurse cannot give this girl an aspirin without the parents’ permission, but she can take her to an abortion clinic.  Can you imagine the outcry if someone suggested requiring a photo ID and a background check before having an abortion?

The second thing that liberals do not want to regulate is voting.  Liberals are opposed to voter ID.  They are even opposed to purging convicted felons and dead people from the voter database.  I wonder how gun dealers are going to run all those background checks without also requiring people to have a photo ID.

So, here’s the plan.  We will agree to no regulations with regard to the purchase of a gun that are more stringent that the requirements to vote or to have an abortion.  If you can vote, you can have a gun.  If you can have an abortion, you can have a gun.  It seems only fair.
