Without a FID in Massachusetts, you are a felon if you possess a single bullet, even if you don’t own a gun.
This sound familiar!
TEMPLE RECOMMEND
No one is admitted into a Mormon temple without a “Temple Recommend.” The recommend is an identification card which verifies that the member is in good standing (i.e. paid a full tithe, is morally clean, doctrinally pure, has kept the “Word of Wisdom,” etc.). In other words, the temple recommend-carrying Mormon has been approved and deemed “worthy” of entering the sacred temple. The only time a non-Mormon (Gentile) can enter a temple is during an open house held shortly before it is dedicated or after a renovation.

There is a big difference between a government "licensing" a right, and private organization, religious or not, controlling access to its facilities.
Many high tech companies control access to their facilities in order to protect their trade secrets. I suppose you have a problem with that too. (My wife did some consulting for TI, they searched her purse coming and going, something other parts of TI, who did defense work, did not do. In fact the badge that all TI employees wore, which would get you into the facilities of the defense group, (but not into "certain areas") would not get you into those the areas used by the part that made commerical products sold at retail).
