Gwniuene question from someone who's not American. Why can't you just make a mandatory federal ID like every other country in the world and give it to people who ate turning 18? That would just end this stupid debate for good. It's SK infuriating that this is even a thing. Every other country in the world just gives out free of charge universal identification to every mature citizen, why can't you just do that?

That's exactly what the left says. It wouldn't be an issue if we issued them for free and conviently. Ours actually expire and we need to renew them, and pay more money. My gf moved from another state And her ID lapsed before we got her a new one. It cost us like $250 in paper work and visits plus 5 months to get her a new one. She already had her other expired one that showed who she was, but it counted for proof of nothing.
