On Friday, I bought a firearm and had to show a driver's license (plus fill out a form with place of birth, height, weight, etc.). I also went to Best Buy to pick up an A/V Receiver that needed servicing, guess what? Had to show driver's license to pick that up. Had I wrote a check somewhere, I probably would have had to show my driver's license for that, too (I guess it's been years since I wrote a check anywhere, so I am speculating).

But for some reason, showing a Driver's License or CO ID card when voting is just too damn hard?

Here's what slays me... forging a utility bill isn't even illegal. I can carry a stack of them around in my hip pocket, and if stopped by Charlie Cherry Top there would be no problem whatsoever. Why is a utility company suddenly the gatekeeper to identity?

I say we pass a law that exercising the right to keep and bear arms carries the same identity requirements as exercising the right to vote.

Now if an officer stops me I just hand him my Xcel bill for my Concealed Carry. I'll keep a copy of my Comcast bill with me for when I pick up my next lower. New 1911? Here's my Verizon bill. That's all cool, right?
