I am shocked by how many Freepers don’t see the humor with this tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek proposal.
Yes its a JOKE people! “The lawmakers know the bill won’t pass and introduced it only to make a point related to the individual mandate in last year’s sweeping health care reform law”. The danger though, is getting the opposition (who surely doesn’t get it) all riled up. Something that started as a joke could morph into an anti-gun movement and we surely dont need that.
Now, making anything complusory (whether constitutional or not) can have drawbacks and unintended consequences. There’s a whole lot of folks out there that I’d rather not see armed. I much prefer to quietly accumuate my arsenal without raising anyone’s attention.

It may be humorous, but it also raises some very interesting issues.
