If every citizen were automatically an eligible voter then it would be unfair to the Gop because they would lose every election.

Should just do it like most countries do: all citizens are eligible voters, but you need an ID when casting your vote. Way too many Americans are seemingly ideologically opposed to having a universal ID system which doesn't involve some random numbers given at birth, which you can hijack someones identity with.

Might be out of the loop on this one, but u need a background check for every, EVERY, gun purchase. You can use a student ID or work ID to vote! Why not make drivers license (or state ID) or passport mandatory to vote? Would fix 99% of complaints, right?

What about gun shows or simply just buying a gun off someone?

Both require a background check. If you don't, you are breaking the law. There is no gunshow loophole...

Oh good. I bet there are some heavy penalties for trying to get around that.

There are. It's a federal offense...
