"Make no mistake: I'm all about guns! I just love the legal incongruities our national discourse has spawned, like I can buy a shotgun any time of day without the slightest background check, but if I need something for my sniffles, it's six forms of ID and complete school transcripts. The government essentially created a system where if I want to clear a head cold, the easiest cure is to blow my brains out."
From Striptease by Carl Hiaasen
last year Oregon required ID to buy nail polish (because acetone is used in the preparation of meth) this requirement was later removed, but most states still require ID to buy cough syrup, drain cleaner, and supermarkets keep baby formula behind cabinet doors.
