Set a precedent that the community is served by locking up many of their individually owned guns in a central facility?

Please go back and read what I posted.

IMO, if the government is willing to buy a military rifle for each individual, it is not likely that they are going to try to confiscate the privately held arms. Community storage of arms is not unheard of in American history.

Okay. I did.

Now back to the point I was trying to make.

The gun-grabbers would jump at the chance to buy every man, woman, and child a gun if it meant that they could decide where the gun is stored, who gets to use it, and when they get to use it.

If the "security of a free state" can be assured by having the government supplied weapons in a central location controlled by the government, then the gun-grabbers will claim that the "requirements" of the Second Amendment are met and there is no longer a need to tolerate private sales of firearms. Those firearms which are already owned may and must be stored in the central facility.

I think I remember seeing the Brits mandating that hunters join a "hunting club" and store their guns at the club's central location. It will be a small step to nationalize the clubs, take over the records and storage of the clubs, and thereby disarm anyone foolish enough to count on having a firearm which is under the control of the government.
