The gun lobby doesn't want nationalized ID because it can be easily tied to or adding on the database of what guns people buy. These are very conservative, states rights, anti federal government people. They don't want federal anything.

It also has to do with the nanny state. We don't want the government to tell us what to do. We're Americans. We hate the government. The bigger it is, the more we hate it.
