Georgia City to Make Gun Ownership Mandatory Because Freedom

Every freedom-loving American knows the only defense against a big, overreaching government is guns. Lots and lots of guns.*

There's just one problem. It turns out that some free Americans don't like owning guns. Enter Nelson, Georgia, a small community north of Atlanta that could soon require every "head of household residing in the city limits" to "maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore."

To recap, governments that force you to purchase deadly weapons are fine. It's only a problem if they start jamming health care down your throat.

Next, this town will try changing the state motto to "Georgia: Come for the Peaches, Stay for the Irony."

And you better do what they say. They all have guns.
