In Kennesaw, Georgia, it against the law not to own a gun. As you might guess, the crime rate has gone way down, especially home burglaries. But wouldn't that violate my rights if I am opposed to guns? A bill was recently introduced in the state of Georgia that lifts a ban on bringing guns into churches. Texas has a bill introduced to allow guns in colleges. Does that go too far? In Georgia, any adult can carry a gun with no license or training at all if it is plain view (a permit and some training is required if it is concealed). It is banned in courtrooms and a few other public places/government buildings. Thoughts?

Well, if O'Bomber can require (mandate) that everyone purchase a health insurance policy then it's no stretch at all for government to require (mandate) everyone to purchase a gun...or eat cabbage, or buy an electric car..for that matter.

Oh, and crime did go down...way down in Kennesaw, Georgia when that city ordinance went into effect.


Bill would require all S.D. citizens to buy a gun

Five South Dakota lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require any adult 21 or older to buy a firearm “sufficient to provide for their ordinary self-defense.”

The bill, which would take effect Jan. 1, 2012, would give people six months to acquire a firearm after turning 21. The provision does not apply to people who are barred from owning a firearm.

Nor does the measure specify what type of firearm. Instead, residents would pick one “suitable to their temperament, physical capacity, and preference.”

The measure is known as an act “to provide for an individual mandate to adult citizens to provide for the self defense of themselves and others.”

Rep. Hal Wick, R-Sioux Falls, is sponsoring the bill and knows it will be killed. But he said he is introducing it to prove a point that the federal health care reform mandate passed last year is unconstitutional.

“Do I or the other cosponsors believe that the State of South Dakota can require citizens to buy firearms? Of course not. But at the same time, we do not believe the federal government can order every citizen to buy health insurance,” he said.

Yeah, Kennesaw is the safest suburb in Atlanta! I guess the crooks choose to go to another part of Atlanta to rob, steal, and kill.

"Can you prove you've eaten your cabbage today comrade"?


"Of course comrade Inspector, it's the law"!
