Which is why opposing voter reform makes no sense. If you're already taking voter security seriously, then having regulations that verifies that you're taking voter security seriously would make little to no difference to you.

If an American is against voter reform I immediately assume that they're not really serious about voter security.

See how dumb that sounds?

Rights are rights, even if you are irresponsible with the use of those rights. Moreover, the majority of attempts to enact gun control are largely about either banning firearm types entirely--e.g., semi-automatic rifles--or making it exceptionally hard and expensive to exercise your constitutionally guaranteed right.

What kind of 'voter reform' are you talking about?

Are you talking about making formal requirements for things that are already core safety practices that we really need all voters to do so that they don't accidentally kill someone?

I’d say the right to vote is more important than the right to bear arms. I’d say that’s especially true given the damage votes have caused in the last 3 months, versus the remedies applied by the second amendment to that damage.
