Yes, I saw the 'linking of databases'. It's between the States, not Canada and Mexico as the article says. And if there already was a linked database in 2001, Mohamed Atta wouldn't have had 5(?) different DL's.

As to what SD is proposing, that has no correlation to this Bill.

all he needed was one.

look, the Feds screwed up on Atta. mainly because of the Clinton era "wall" in place. that is a fact.

making new rules, regs, and laws that infringe on the privacy and freedoms of LAW ABIDING citizens is nothing but a cop out for the Reps and paying hommage to the allmighty 9/11 Committee.


as to the SD bill... i disagree. the SD HB 1209 is to make it possible for LE to have a data base on gun permit owners. before, if you forgot your permit, you had so many hours to bring it in to the local LE for proof. much like our 'proof of insurance' law.
but with this bill, that info will be in a LE data base connected with your DL. so if pulled over for a traffic violation and the LE runs a check on you DL it will show that you are a permit owner (gun owner). so when this Fed bill makes all that DL data available to all the states and to the Feds etc..... that makes it a connections between the two.

and it's dead wrong and unconstitutional.
