No offense, but what does this have to do with providing a birth certificate to get a driver's license? (Which is also used for ID to prove who you are in order to vote)

One has a right to peaceably travel in this country without any kind of "license".

Wars were fought over this.

Ohhhh...tough guy. Good luck trying to “deal with it at gunpoint” at a post office or bank, you won’t be hunting elk ever again after you lose your right to carry a gun due to a felony. I would think, as a conservative, that you would understand that proper ID is important to prevent illegal alien activity and voter fraud.

Driving is a priviledge, not a right.

There is a right to peaceably travel from place to place in or on any contemporary conveyance in this country without being accosted by armed highwaymen.

Wars and civil disturbances occurred in this country over this.

I would think, as a conservative, that you would understand that proper ID is important to prevent illegal alien activity and voter fraud.

If that was what it was used for, I would agree.

I pick my potential felonies carefully.
