"Basically this is a deterrent ordinance," Councilman Duane Cronic said at the meeting. "It's no more than putting a sign in your front yard saying that 'ADT protects this home.' Now the person that may be there (checking) your home out to cause harm to you or your family to break into your house has to decide, 'When I break that door down, what's on the other side of that door?'"

1. So the state is going to force them to buy something?... Just like Obamacare?

Socialism!

2. So

If they claim they haven't got the personnel to fight crime in the area, how can they have the personnel to enforce this law? Are they going door to door to check out a gun in the house? Stupid people, do stupid things.

5. It's modeled on Kennesaw's law

In Kennesaw, the law requires you to own a gun but it's never been enforced.

3. Would a toy gun suffice for this law?

I for one do not own a gun nor want to. If the town forces me to own a gun, does it have to be loaded?

4. Yeah buddy, another feel-good law

From the article: exempted are people with physical or mental disabilities, felons, the poor, and anyone with personal or religious beliefs against gun ownership. So you HAVE to own a gun but if you can't or just don't want to, that's fine too.

6. I don't have double vision, I have quadruple vision.

Anybody want to give me a gun?

7. I Guess You've Missed The Multiple DU Gungeon Threads Over The Years.....

....advocating gun ownership for the sight-impaired. Trust me: if you're a human being, the gun militancy movement wants you armed, regardless of physical or mental impairments.
