Small town in northern Georgia, the conservatives there are trying to
pass a law that makes household gun ownership mandatory, and this has
already been a conservative made law in a county in Georgia. But, this
got me to thinking, the conservatives are all about LESS LAWS, at least
those laws that they don't like, and here they are telling everyone you
MUST own a gun....

The freedom to be required to own a gun. It's good for ya and it's
good for the American Gun Industry, supplying cheap guns to the inner
city since flooding it with cocaine in the 1980s!!!

That is old news. Kennesaw Georgia has had that law for 20 years.
There is an exception for anyone who doesn't want to, so it is just
symbolic.

This isn't in Kennesaw, it's in Nelson, GA, and if you look, I stated
that there is another county in GA that has a similar law, and that
county is where Kennesaw is located. Still, I want to know how these
types of new laws are ok for the right wing, when they whine about too
many laws. I don't need some politician telling me that I need to have a
gun in my home.

Yeah, but jps' irrational version was much more fun to read.

Well, stupid, it was me who posted this, not JPS. Also, stupid, this is
about NELSON, GA, not Kennesaw, and Kennesaw is in the COUNTY that I
mentioned as previously enacting this law. BUT, none of this answers my
question as to WHY the right seems to think it's okay for them to
dictate whether or not I have a gun in my house, but they claim to want
less government intrusion in their lives..... purely hypocritical.

Which part of "you don't have to if you don't want to" do you have
trouble understanding?
This is a symbolic piece of legislation with a loophole for anyone who
is against the idea.

Nope, it's a law stating that you must have a firearm in your home.

I think it is silly but I don't see it as being that intrusive on
anyone's rights.

Really? You don't mind someone telling you you must own a firearm? Well,
then would you mind if someone told you you COULDN'T own one?

It was done as a response to other laws in blue states that prohibit
owning a gun. They are just making a statement.

What states say that you can't own a gun?

It is Georgia, why do you care?

You've once again totally missed the point. I'll ask again. Why is it
fine with the right wing to tell people they must own a gun if they are
a homeowner, but then turn around and whine when a law is passed that
they don't like and their rebuttal is that they don't need more laws
telling them what to and what not to do?

OK I was not willing to wait for you to try to find it (it wasn't the

top hit on Google so you didn't really have a chance)



The law includes this language



" Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households

who ... conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of

beliefs or religious doctrine"



I assume you would have a "belief" that would keep you from wanting to

own a gun so you are exempt.

Like I said, you don't have to if you don't want to.

It should also be noted that there is no penalty for breaking this

law.

That does NOT negate from the fact that it is a LAW, and as such is
enforceable. It also does not negate from the fact that the right wing
acts as if they want less laws but make more laws when it suits THEM. It
also does not negate from the fact that the new law is in NELSON, GA,
not Kennesaw and is a different law that does not contain the same
verbage as each other. There IS a penalty for breaking this law, and it
is the same as other city penalties. Also, there are other laws on the
books in other states that have similar laws.

Cite the law text.

"In 1982, the Kennesaw City Council unanimously passed a law requiring
heads of households to own at least one firearm with ammunition."

I think it is silly but I don't see it as being that intrusive on
anyone's rights.

Really? You don't mind someone telling you you must own a firearm? Well,
then would you mind if someone told you you COULDN'T own one?

In 1982, the Kennesaw City Council unanimously passed a law requiring

I am not convinced that is what the law actually says.

It was done as a response to other laws in blue states that prohibit
owning a gun. They are just making a statement.

What states say that you can't own a gun?

Until McDonald and Heller, Chicago and DC
They are still making it very hard to do hence the new suits working
their way through the courts.
There are also plenty of guns you can't own in most blue states and
when you can, it is a bureaucratic boondoggle.

So, again, "what states say that you can't own a gun?"


It is Georgia, why do you care?

You've once again totally missed the point. I'll ask again. Why is it

Track down the actual text of the law and we can talk.

No I am not doing it, it is your rant, you do a little work yourself.

Again, you miss the point. The right is okay with a law that says that
you must have a gun and ammunition for it in your home, but then they
whine about wanting government out of their business.

You should learn to read, and research better.

YOU wrote: "WHY the right seems to think it's okay for them to *dictate* whether or not I have a gun in my house..."

But the law you are talking about actually says:

(2) Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who are paupers or who conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.

So, if you lived there, you would not be required (dictated) to posess a gun. I beleive you qualify for an exemption on more than one count.
