Nelson, GA: Households required to own a gun...sort of?

Asked by livelaughlove21 (15724points) April 4th, 2013 from iPhone

Here’s the article.

Basically,

“Council members in Nelson, a city of about 1,300 residents that’s located 50 miles north of Atlanta, voted unanimously to approve the Family Protection Ordinance. The measure requires every head of household to own a gun and ammunition to “provide for the emergency management of the city” and to “provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants.””

BUT…

“The ordinance exempts convicted felons and those who suffer from certain physical or mental disabilities, as well as anyone who objects to gun ownership. The ordinance also doesn’t include any penalty for those who don’t comply.”

This is great, because the US was running short of useless laws. I must admit, this article made me giggle.

Thoughts?
