Thoughts on an ID endorsement which shows an individual is not an alcoholic, mental health/suicide risk or otherwise violent offender? ID would be shown prior to purchase of alcohol, firearms or ammunition. The seller or private provider (party host, brother in law, etc.) Could call number to verify id is still current prior to serving or selling these items. Substantially increase penalties for straw purchases or anyone providing or serving alcohol, firearms or ammunition to anyone not permitted. Also substantially increase end user penalties for attempting to circumvent the process.
Seems this idea could go a long way to reducing rape, child/spousal abuse, suicide, homicide, violent crime, health care costs and any number of alcohol related issues. Reducing the alcohol component by itself would greatly reduce firearms injuries and deaths. The firearms endorsement would help solve the issue of mentally unstable people having access to firearms and easily allow universal background checks.
