Georgia Town's New Law Says You Must Have a Gun - ABC News
A ridiculous ordinance, and completely unenforceable an example of mere political posturing.
It isn't, Clayton. Anyone who is opposed to guns or has a felony record can opt out. It is right there in black and white in the news report. Read it again.
There is no forced gun ownership but the strangest thing about this article is they have written it as if this is the first town to have such and ordinance. That is not true. Kennesaw was doing this before Nathan Deal ever even thought about running for Governor of Ga. The article doesn't even mention Kennesaw. In the last paragraph he said that 95% of the town they are approving it for already own guns. I would say that is a low estimate. In my own town I do not believe there is anyone here who doesn't own a gun or a hunting rifle. It is just unheard of.
In all my years of living here no gun owner has ever used his gun in a crime that I know of. We have a very low crime rate in my town. The headlines of my newspaper is so and so's cow broke out and the neighbors helped get it. That is front page headlines folks. It doesn't get much calmer than that.
I believe the reason we don't hear of murders, rapes and break ins in my town is because we have no gun restriction laws and our judges are tough on criminals. I do remember one man who was an out of towner and commited a crime here. The judge gave him numerous life sentences and told him something I cannot repeat on a message board. In our town the judges are treated like royalty. They get doted on alot! - J.
