Government should not have the power to force someone to own a firearm. Nor should the government have the power to disallow the ownership of firearms.

The article is old; the story is even older:
.The town north of Atlanta had little prominence until it passed a gun ordinance in 1982 that required all heads of a household to own a firearm and ammunition
Hardly qualifies as current events.
I bet you keep bandages in your house incase someone gets a cut, what do you keep if an armed criminal wakes you in the night and tries to hurt or kill your family?

True, but it is interesting to see the statistics where it has occurred.
And at least in these cases the law was a truely local law where the citizens had a real voice, unlike here at the state level.
If not exactly right, at least less wrong.
Well, there's my small town upbringing again.
I assume these are town by-laws passed at a town meeting after discussion and not handed down from a council or mayor of some sort?

Whether a law of this nature is passed by any majority - people who don't want to own or have a gun - well, it is like telling everyone they have to drink milk - it infringes on personal choice - they can't enforce it. It simply allows those who want to own one "legal" - if that is the objective then simply allow it, mandating is ludricrous.
