I support it. Or a federal ID issued to all legal citizens.

I think it could be a good idea especially if we could possibly tie in a national concealed carry permit option.

It would be interesting to see what it would do for everyone.

Yes, and a database for prescription medication fraud that mandatory for ALL retail and wholesale locations. As a previous law enforcement officer, we were able to hit a database in 1991 that gave us the record on everyone we stopped for all 50 states, its not that hard, we would know whose who for sure, but then no one really wants that these days do they? I answered a question with a question, I need sleep!

LTC Private RallyPoint Member I believe, anyone living in this country, should be required to have a photo ID of some sort, and should be willing to produce it, for anything they need and it is required for. Perhaps, as a career Soldier, I am used to this, but I get pissed at the left rallying for the rights of folks to vote, and get government services without having to have such identification. I am old school, I guess, but you live here, you play by our rules, not your own. I have lived in other countries, and I always played by their rules and never expected them to adjust their rules to make me feel better.

National ids mean that the feds can then track each person. A cell phone enables tracking of course. Tracking might appear to be benign for now but it can very easily be used for nefarious purposes. I do not want crooks to be able to know when no one is in my home nor do I want some bureaucrat to know my location at the press of a button.

A national ID card would be great for individuals without any other form of ID. An illegal alien national ID card is a thought. Would't have to wonder.

As a collection of supposedly "Free and Independent States," no. There are a number of reasons, but the biggest one is there is no power granted under the Constitution of the United States to the federal government to produce/manage a national ID.

I think we (SM's) already have one Sir. I don't know if I'd make it mandatory though, allow the Citizens to decide if they want to get it. It could be helpful for people who are constantly traveling though.

Social security is already a national I'd card. It's protected by law from being used public ally except for hackers. National card would help I'd the enemies of the Republic

I'm against it, we already have ID's. We have to provide them for just about everything. Where e need it most is when we go to vote. There are too many people voting that aren't either citizens of this country, or they are voting more than once which is illegal also.
