Can I get a free rifle?.......
In colonial times, an adult male citizen was required to purchase his own standard pattern rifle/musket. Indentured servants were to be provided arms by their indenture holder.
Can I sell myself to a beautiful rich woman then?
Bttt.

You may and can do as you wish. As for myself, I will keep the wonderful specimen that took me in tow 50 years ago.
No, only if you cannot afford your car, boat, house second home, tools food and clothing; otherwise, yes. ( some sarc)
If you cannot afford your civic duty, then maybe one should not be able to exercise any civic action, like voting.... ( no sarc)
We really ought to require people who do not pay taxes to not be able to vote as well....( absolutely no sarc)
PS, I know you were being facetious, so don’t get upset.
Absolutely! Should be several just laying around on the ground by the second or third day. Just keep your head down till then, and you might want to bring some paper towls and hand cleaner.
