Simply have a state wide referendum on the ID and they can’t touch that law. SCOTUS HAS RULED!!

Actually, you have a very good point. Disproportionate impact is a vile distortion of equal treatment under the law, but if minorities and the poor can’t be expected to show an ID to vote, then how can we possibly require them to present ID for anything else? Wouldn’t that also create a disproportionate impact?

This judge is simply making the law up. Justice Sotomayor tried the same thing recently. How could one write any law that would meet their subjective standard? Too many blacks pulled over for speeding? Speed limits are unconstitutional! Too many women arrested for shoplifting? Laws against shoplifting are unconstitutional!

The disproportionate impact crap is exactly that. Pure crap. It’s simply a tool used by judges to reach a desired ruling, whatever they think is right. It’s not rule of law. It’s rule of whatever the guy in the black robe thinks.

Exactly. Obtaining a gun should be no more and no less complicated than voting. If one requires no ID, then so should the other.
