> Usually you need that ID to exercise your constitutional right to bear arms.

12 states have constitutional carry laws. I can buy and carry with no ID needed.

As for voting and issues in obtaining valid ID, I can guarantee if you're on HN, you are not the group being talked about getting an ID.

I had to obtain a birth certificate from my state. I had to drive 3 hours away, and pay $25, and drive 3 hours back to get it. And for someone who doesn't have a car, lives in the city, and lives week to week, they won't be getting a valid ID anytime soon.

Oh yeah, and they're primarily black and poor. That's why the racist claims are made.
