Greenleaf -- All Americans have the right to bear arms. Some towns have even gone as far as to require each household to have a gun. Now a small Idaho town is contemplating a similar idea-- it's called the Civil Emergencies Ordinance. And although gun ownership is just one piece of this ordinance, it's the part that's getting the most attention.
Personally I connot imagine why every responsible American does not own a firearm, but I suppose that is a personal preference and I can understand why some folks would not. This seems like a good ordinance for a small country town faced with the threat of urban sprawl.
The proposed ordinance is modeled after a similar plan that went into place in 1982 in Kennesaw, Ga. In that instance there was a dramatic decrease in criminal activity. Although crime isn't a huge problem for residents of Greenleaf, the growth in neighboring counties leads them to believe they too are in for some changes.
Yes Horace, guns really do deter crime! My idea of gun control has always been hitting exactly what you aim at. My idea of gun safety is always knowing where your round is (in the chamber, in the magazine or in the target).
gun control; firearms
