Probably tongue in cheek, but this could actually work:

"Under such legislation -- let's call it the Gun Insurance Act of 2009 -- every American would be required to buy some kind of gun. Those who cannot afford even the simplest weapon -- say, those whose 2009 annual income is less than twice the federal poverty level -- could be issued $500 vouchers that would be valid only at gun shops or gun shows, and would have to be used before the 2010 Census."

What the hell, why not? It worked in Kennesaw, GA.

Here's the problem with the government forcing everyone to own a gun... The government is forcing everyone to own a gun. I'm not in favor of the government forcing anyone to do anything, unless that person has waved their rights in favor of committing crime.

I'm not here to air my dirty laundry, but I wouldn't be comfortable with certain members of my family owning firearms, and without government mandate, they probably never will either.
