The Department of Agriculture is demanding states hand over personal data of food assistance recipients — including Social Security numbers, addresses and, in at least one state, citizenship status, according to emails shared with NPR by an official who was not allowed to speak publicly.

      If the government wants you to have to show id to buy ammo, it’ll happen.

      Unless you are manufacturing your own ammunition, you have to interact with someone the government has leverage over.

        You have to show ID to buy ammo now. They don’t take a picture of your ID and send it off somewhere when that happens, they just make sure that you’re old enough to buy it (like alcohol or cigarettes). For me, they look at me and see that I’m over 40 and that’s good enough to be my ID.

        I don’t know where you’re coming up with your bullshit but you should stop. It’s a waste of your time, and it’s all wrong.
