Washington, DC (TLS). The year was 1982. A small Georgia town was disturbed over its murder rate, which placed it well above the national average.
This town, however, chose to take a decidedly different approach to the problem of gun crime than the norm of passing more stringent gun control laws that unnecessarily infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens. Instead, they passed a law that required that every single household within the town limits have a firearm.
In short, every single head of household in town was required by law to own and possess a gun.
The press howled to high heaven, complete with the usual ridicule, calling the residents hay-seeds, hicks, and the like. Art Buchwald, the deceased liberal, predicted that gun violence would skyrocket.
Instead, immediately the level of gun violence dropped significantly, and today that town of Kennesaw, Georgia celebrates 25 years murder-free.
