Yea, Yea, I know this site is supposed to be about Canadians, but I
thought ya might be interested in the latest craziness going on south of
the border!
Come on down to Nelson, Georgia, the most welcoming town in America, where everyone is required by law to own a gun.
According to the Associated Press,
city council approved an ordinance on Monday night that requires
families to keep a gun. The councilor who sponsored the bill, Duane
Cronic, told the news wire he thinks the measure will make the town
safer.
The image of walking into a city with the knowledge that everyone you greet could shoot you seems to suggest otherwise.
The law is posted on the city of Nelson’s website under the title “Family Protection Ordinance.”
Residents won’t be waiting for knocks on their doors to verify their gun ownership anyway, because even Cronic says authorities won’t enforce the measure. It contains no penalties for failing to comply and certain people are exempt, including felons and some people with disabilities, according to the news report.

Gun stores in the small town of Nelson are about to
get a lot more business if residents take seriously a new ordinance that
makes it illegal not to own a firearm.

Sec. 38-6. Heads of households to maintain firearms.
