Butane is also used in a lot of drug manufacturing. Butane is used to make marijuana wax and dabs too

Constitutional rights, how do they work?

I agree. I wouldn't allow my ID to be scanned

what a good little citizen subject...

They wanted to scan my DL, not just see it.  

No, I am not some paranoid tinfoil wearing mouth breather, I just take offense at the idea that as an adult, I cannot buy a fucking cigarette lighter without the nanny state checking up on me.  

Also, at 26, you grew up in a much different world than many of us.  It appear that the indoctrination of the younger generation to accept a more intrusive gov't has worked.  

Their store their rules

Damnit you beat me to the simple "lol" response.

I think my favorite part of that post is the at the end.

I used to buy KNO3 (We will see who gets that one), sulfur and another ingredient to make an interesting substance.   I also mailed checks to get items out of a paper catalog.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was a .gov target. It's store policy to ask for ID, not a gov requirement

I was born in 1967, and have an older brother 12 years my senior.

I was probably 7 or 8 when he left home to go to the army.

He left behind the substances you mentioned, as well as a chemistry set that a lot of interesting chemicals in it.

I don't know how I figured it all out, but within a year of him leaving I was making gunpowder and blowing shit up.  

Your rights are granted to you by the US Constitution?
O RLY?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you don't know know a damn thing about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
why it was ratified, natural rights and liberty. (Yes, the liberty that so many shed blood for PRIOR to 1787...)

Wow, it is painfully obvious who the liberal, obama supporting, douchbags are in this thread.

I'm not that old, but fuck...
I remember when a gas can was a god damn can.  Thin sheet metal.
Now I can only buy these stupid CARB compliant cans.

Used to be I would pedal my Schwin to the local hardware store with two quarters and buy a paper roll tube of BBs.
I'm grey and going bald, and I was asked for a fucking license the last time I bought BBs.
I told the cashier that was the dumbest thing I had heard, and walked out without making a purchase.  Fuck'em.

Carded for spray paint, bic lighters, ....  What the fuck.

If some stupid little fuck wants to huff it, let him.
It should be an automatic "do not revive" if they hurt themselves.
Don't make me prove to some pimple face kid I am older than his parents to buy it.

I am all but finger printed for cold medicine because some mommy group thinks it will stop meth.
Jesus christ these mommy groups are fucking retards.

Yes, this is a slippery slope.
Soon everything you purchase will be tracked by the government.
You will be required to pay with a card of some kind.
Cash transactions will only be allowed with a license.
And the government will have algorythms to watch what you buy.
It might catch the demostic terrorist buying bomb parts at different stores.
But there will be unjustified no knock raids like you have never seen.

You haven't seen anything.
But some in this thread are welcoming this future.
A future where you won't be carded for individual items,
but instead carded for everything you buy.

You would be wrong. My point with that statement is we are supposed to have the unhindered ability to keep and bear firearms so yes I disagree with anything that goes against that. It does not however stop a private entity from checking ID to buy their products.

One time when I worked at a liquor store I made a lady go out to her car to get her ID before I would sell to her. Made her day when she came back in and asked me how old I thought she was.

I was guessing she was 25, but wouldn't have been surprised at 19 or 20 trying to rely on looks to get me to sell to her. She was 46.

Asian women age very well.

Lol.

Go away. An adult is trying to make an important point. Its so easy for you to say stupid shit like that instead of nutting up and actually doing something about it, huh? But since you can't even understand what i'm talking about, you'll just continue to mock me, all the while thinking you're so damned smart.

I like the cut of your jib. We think alike. I was born in '59, and in that short span of history I have seen this country become almost unrecognizable as the land of my youth.

It's not about age. It's about knowledge. Knowledge is power.

No one would mistake me for being under 40. I had to have my license swiped to buy friggin' cold medicine. Usually they just look at it and have you sign the form. When I questioned the change, she said purchases are recorded and after a certain amount over a period of time, you are denied and flagged.

Maybe this sounds like a good idea to some, While I'm all for LE cracking down on tweakers, I have a basic problem with a government agency telling me how much of a legal item I can buy, how often I can buy it, and recording the information when I do buy it, especially when I'm doing nothing wrong.  Anyone who is not concerned about the logical conclusion to this kind of increasing surveillance is a fool. No difference between this and restricting firearms and ammo purchases to everyone because a few behave badly.

Same thing when I have to sign in as a guest on my wife's membership at Planet Fitness.  

Desk clerk: "Sir, I need your e-mail address."

TRW: "Sorry, I don't have one."

Sometimes I give them a fake one also.  Some poor guy named [email protected] must be going nuts wondering how he got on a Planet Fitness spam list.

 

No but when I was like wtf they said that kids were burning it to inhale the fumes or something

I remember a story not long ago about a raid over a pressure cooker...
