You want to drive your car? You better make sure you have a license to do so.

Want to go hunting out of season? Nope, not happening...and we'll fine you if it does happen.

Want to get completely smashed in that bar down the street? You better be older than the minimum age.

I realize this is simplifying things to a horrendous degree, but there are few things the government doesn't heavily regulate.

(Or are we focusing on one issue while ignoring the rest?)
