Finally, A Mandate Liberals Will Oppose: Colorado Town Requires Citizens to Own Guns
Finally, A Mandate Liberals Will Oppose: Colorado Town Requires Citizens to Own Guns
1,713 Shares By Kevin Boyd 13 hours ago
The town of Nucla, Colorado (population 750 or so) has become the first town in the state of Colorado to mandate that all of its residents own guns. The town board passed the ordinance with only one vote opposed.
The Denver Post has the story:The Venus Stylin’ beauty salon is one of the few businesses in this town where the heads of hunted animals don’t stare glassy-eyed from the walls. But that doesn’t mean that this is a zone free of the gun-rights fervor that grips Nucla.Colorado has recently been in the spotlight for the gun control debate, with strict new gun laws that were passed after the Sandy Hook school shootings in 2012. However, those laws are losing support among Coloradans and two Democrat state senators were successfully recalled over them last year.
“We should all have guns, lots of them,” opined stylist Traciena Johannsen as she painted highlights on the hair of a client who spoke up from beneath the tent of foil on her head to say she has two guns. In fact, she shot a wild turkey with one of them last week.
Guns have put Nucla in the national Second Amendment spotlight since the Nucla Town Board on May 8 passed the first — and only — municipal ordinance in Colorado requiring heads of households to have guns, and ammunition, “in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the town and its inhabitants.”
The lone man who voted against the so-called “Family Protection Order”, Bill Long, is himself a gun owner who owns multiple guns. He opposed the bill because he does not believe in passing unnecessary laws (imagine that).
Mandatory gun ownership actually has a historical precedent in the US. The Militia Act of 1792 required all males from 18-45 to own a musket and all the accessories needed to fire and service it. The city of Kennesaw, Georgia, passed an ordinance in 1982 that requires all households own a firearm and ammunition.
What do you think, is this gun ownership mandate a good idea or is it an unnecessary law?Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
