If this is insane than so was George Washington and the first congress who passed a law requiring every male citizen between 18 and 45 to own a gun with at least so much amo.

In the modern day context I think its brilliant provided you have a citizenry willing to take responsibility for upholding the law.

Hey... now THAT is a good point.

But wasn’t that more like conscription into the military?
Is it accurate (not saying it isn’t) to equate the Nelson Ordinance and Washington’s law?

If that is the spirit in which this town council passed the ordinance, then far be it from me to disagree.
