Hey how about tests to allow people to vote and have children. Sounds like a great idea.

You don't directly kill other people's children by either voting or having your own children.

There are tests to allow people to drive a car though.

What do you consider a test to vote? having never been incarcerated? lots of states already have that implemented.

It's actually being convicted of a felony, not being incarcerated, that prohibits you from voting (and from owing a gun).
