Interesting, but doesn’t really seem Constitutional.
Early on, states had gun laws requiring firearms ownership - with specified supplies - and exceptions for such as the infirmed. The penalties were fines, which were directed to be used to buy firearms for those who could not afford them.
One of the arguments that had been used against states attempts to outlaw or limit firearms ownership is that it deprives the federal government of the ability to call upon the citizens of those states as militia.
