In reply to the discussion: Nucla, Colo. Passes Ordinance Making Gun Ownership Mandatory [View all]GreenStormCloud
(12,072 posts)29. Kennesaw, GA, did that in 1982.
Like this law, they made exceptions for those who couldn't afford one, or who were conscientiously opposed. IOW, nobody really had to buy a gun. The law was a publicity stunt after Morton Grove, Il, (a suburb of Chicago) outlawed all handguns in the city. Kennesaw is a suburb of Atlanta.
Kennesaw has not had a gun death in 25 years. I don't know about Morton Grove. BTW - They lifted the ban after the Heller decision.
