See post #30. -- Under my proposed amendment, you would not be forced to take the oath, or to have a rifle.
You would forfeit your franchise to vote of course, but we can't be too picky, aye?

Why? What does my owning or not a gun have to do with my ability to vote? You don't want the government forcing you to get rid of your guns, I don't want the government forcing me to own one. Sounds like we both want the government out of it, huh? What makes you think that my not wanting to own a gun means I won't defend this country if it came to it?
