The tiny Colorado town of Nucla has passed an ordinance making gun ownership mandatory.
The Nucla Town Board last week voted to require that residents own firearms, but it has exceptions for heads of households who don't want to participate or who cannot legally possess a gun.
Nucla's ordinance passed by a 5-1 vote. It was inspired by the Family by Text-Enhance"> by Text-Enhance"> by Text-Enhance">Protection Ordinance passed by the town of Nelson, Ga.
The Colorado town of less than 1,000 people becomes the latest of a handful of communities nationwide to pass such a rule. The measures are widely considered unenforceable.
"The main reason is to protect Second Amendment rights, especially with the government talking about abolishing them," said Nucla Town Board member Joshua Newingham. "Out here, we hunt, we do sports shooting. It's a way of life."
How many times have we heard the pro-gun lament that they don't tell us what to do, so we shouldn't tell them. Well, I guess in places like Nucla CO and Nelson GA we've got exceptions to that.
