“Someone I know recently told me his idea about guns: Make it mandatory for everyone to own a gun at the age of eighteen. That way it wouldn’t be just the bad guys who have guns.”
Sadly, this town council rolled over to the Bloomberg gun grabbers.

Facing lawsuit, Georgia town holsters mandatory gun ownership law
By Simon Moya-Smith
A small town in Georgia says it will not enforce a controversial law that requires the head of nearly every household to own a gun and ammunition.
The town of Nelson, Ga., population 1,300, passed the ordinance in April. In May, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence filed a federal lawsuit against the town challenging the constitutionality of the law, which allowed some exceptions to the ownership requirement.
Both sides informed the courts this week that they had recently come to a settlement. As part of the resolution, the town of Nelson declares that the law cannot and will not be enforced.
In a press release, the Brady center said the settlement protects gun owners and non-gun owners alike.
Hadn’t heard about this. Will tell my friend next time I see him.
