This is a discussion on Mandate gun ownership?How would libs like that within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; A Modest Proposal « Hot Air...
Excellent idea. And for those who refuse to purchase guns and ammo, tax them or give them a penalty and let me have the money so I can purchase more guns.![]()
A particularly biting sarcasm that exposes the health care legislation and subsequent ruling for what it is. I like it.
Worth the read,with some points that need to be thought about.
I remember when Kennesaw,Georgia passed a law that mandated its citzenship to keep a gun in the house. Of course, they didnt enforce it but the Liberals threw the godawfullest dog squallin racket that was ever was heard around the nation.

As you can see by the "likes" I likes this idea. If they can use taxes to oppress us....they can use taxes to protect us by making sure we are all able to defend ourselves. Think of the fear it would strike in criminals hearts to know that the chances are great that any home the decide to break into will have a loaded weapon behind the door. Any person they confront have a greater chance of protecting themselves. I know it won't happen, but a girl can dream....can't she?![]()
A woman must not depend on protection by men. A woman must learn to protect herself.

We'd be like the Swiss. Do they get government mandated health care too?
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Include a mandate that would require the TSA to hand out hand guns to everyone getting on a commercial flight. (wasn't that Archie Bunkers idea?)

Ya know, I actually typed it like that and then thought that some of our yankyfied friends might not be able to understand it, so I changed it.I always thought that was one word: godawfullestdogsquallinracket

I posted similar idea on another forum yesterday. And I have a catchy name for it.
To heck with TSA involvement, make ATF do their job and make sure everyone (not just Mexican cartel members) has a good firearm. Heck, they could pass out some alcohol while they're at it.Let's push for the Citizens' Protection and Violence Reduction Act of 2013.
It shall require every legal resident over the age of 18, who is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm, to own a gun of at least .38 caliber in pistol or .223 in rifle or a shotgun, and sufficient ammunition to train and defend him or herself. Anyone failing to be so equipped within one year of enactment will be subject to a $1000 tax, annually, until so equipped.
SCOTUS said it's OK to tax into compliance.

The only common sense gun legislation was written about 224 years ago.
I carry always not because I go places trouble is likely, but because trouble has a habit of not staying in its assigned zone.
Too bad the world doesn't work this way. It would be amazing to watch the faces of Pelosi, and Harry trying to assimilate these ideas into their...minds.

Mandating every household have guns makes guns available in every household the BGs break into. Really. Think about it. Don't the BGs steal enough guns already?

They don't in Switzerland where everyone not only owns a gun, but is trained to use it. Some theft occurs, but not to the same extent here in the US.
Not for long. Eventually there would be a shortage of badguys.Mandating every household have guns makes guns available in every household the BGs break into. Really. Think about it. Don't the BGs steal enough guns already?
