Since when has an ID card or a gun license totally stopped criminals? We wll never know! All we do know is that honest people all ways get stopped by the same things that are supposed to protect. Sports men and women in the UK have been stopped from shooting target pistols, but when was the last time the IRA or another terrorist organization got licenses for there C4 and grenade launchers? OK forms of ID may reduce the amount of criminals, Nothing is 100% secure. There is more than 1 way to skin a cat!!
