Fuzzy bears!
Even assuming your argument is accurate, there is a big difference between the two things: voting is time-restricted.
So.....you just make the person get the background check 24 hours before they vote......or 72 hours like they do to buy a gun.......
Because of the timing issue, background checks would be more of a burden for voting. That would make the idea harder to pass legal muster, I would imagine.
And the woman who was waiting for her concealed carry permit in New Jersey who was stabbed to death on her driveway by her husband....with the restraining order already against him......that was a timing issue too.....
I figured that sort of example might come up. Here's the difference: Every election has a very specific time limit. Every gun purchase does not. Not only could that make it difficult for someone to vote, because elections happen at a specific time, it's likely that a large amount of people would try getting their background checks at about the same time, which could strain or break the system.
The two situations are different enough that the comparison doesn't quite work.
It does work......anti-gunners want to increase the time police departments have to get background checks done.....it will get to the point where they can take as long as they want.
Gun buyers are not all forced to buy their guns within a very short time frame. I'm sorry, but that makes the comparison fail.
