Just don't issue a number to identify a person, issue a number to identify a record which has their god-given and church blessed christian name. Problem solved.

Just don't issue a number to identify a person, issue a number to identify a record which has their god-given and church blessed christian name. Problem solved. Seriously, the number on my government id is called "record number", as personal number is too haram.
Unless of course the real push to sabotage it comes from people actively interested in having fraudlent ids in circulation or rely on undocumented people to do low-paying jobs, or something.

- rpmisms 3y agoThe ATF being required to keep paper records only is a feature, not a bug, specifically mandated after the absolute fiascos of Ruby Ridge and Waco. Regulators decided that giving them less power was probably wise.

Don't want to have a federal id? Sure, here is your federated id prefixed with TX-, with all the PII stored in a datacenter in your state. Don't want to have another id issued? Sure, type in the number of your driver license issued when you were 16 years old. Don't like numbers at all? Okey, type in your baptism name, dob and the name of the church or apply through a snail mail. It's not like Europe has a pan-european id issuing authority or a single unique number to identify a person through all of the databases on a continent. Even if did, some people would still have another identity number in US to open an account there.
