Comment Simple solution! (Score 1) 1089

The people who tend not to vote are young, they're lower income, they're skewed more heavily towards immigrant groups and minority groups

Pay everybody who votes $5 on their way out of the polls.
Wealthy people who already vote won't care, but those that currently don't will be delighted to get $5 for such little effort.

Also coffee and cookies for all who show up. Works for the Red Cross.

Semantics. Many people, perhaps most, would consider "restrictions" on "rapid-fire weapons" a ban. A ban only on specific types, to be sure, but a ban nevertheless. In fact many have described it as a "confiscation".

Right.
Same with the "confiscation" of bazookas, RPG's and Claymore mines.
In fact, the framers of the constitution clearly intended to protect the private ownership of nuclear weapons.
