If you buy guns and ammo you're harming America by funding the NRA: volume 109

51. You forgot to add:

1. Waiting period for purchase of alcohol. 15 days enough? Perhaps 30...

2. Background check, fill out lengthy form. Any prior domestic misdemeanors denies purchase. And that's at the bottom level.

3. ID. Make sure you have all the proper ID. Here in IL, we have a FOID card. MUST have in possession if handling and/or transporting firearm/ammo (I mean alcohol).

4. Safety classes. (At $150-$300 a pop) How to drink properly. Know when to quit. If you have too much, proper procedures to get to your home safely (friend taxi, etc.) Receive certification, but must renew every few years or so (at $100-$200 a pop).

5. Restrict amounts of alcohol one may purchase at one time. After all, who needs a "magnum" of champagne. And don't forget those high capacity cases of beer. Ban those.

6. Restrict transport of alcohol to point of sale-home. Must have prior permission of BATFE to transport to other than place of residence.

7. No purchase of alcohol out of state, unless it is shipped to local dealer to be personally picked up by you at your expense.

8. No home brews, without license and prior approval of BATFE.

9. Restrict age limit to 21, including branches of military.

That ought to get the ball rolling in the right direction...

BTW, there was this thing a few years back called "Prohibition". Might want to research it before calling on any bans to a constitutionally listed right.
