Amish Lawsuit Says Unconstitutional To Require Photo ID To Buy Gun

This is a great story!

An Amish man has filed a lawsuit alleging that requiring a photo ID to buy a gun is unconstitutional. He says it violates his 1st Amendment religious rights (Amish aren’t supposed to have their picture taken), and thus violates his 2nd Amendment rights since he can’t buy a gun without a photo ID.

This is the first half of the segment I did on this topic, and includes caller Greg. Greg’s comments set off a firestorm of text messages on this issue.
