Don't own a gun, pay $500 so the state can pay for extra police protection..................

I hope it's true.

Non-gun-owners SHOULD have to be registered, and pay extra taxes; their 'phobia' creates an unsafe condition for their own household relative to gun owners, and if enough of them cluster in one area, an unsafe neighborhood for others. If that feeble mindset becomes dominant politically in a nation, GENOCIDE is usually the end result.

Therefore, non-gun-owners should definitely pay extra taxes.

I'd suggest we require they post their homes and businesses as "gun-free zones" as well, so sane and responsible people can avoid them.

Maslack read the "militia" phrase of the Second Amendment as not only
the right of the individual citizen to bear arms, but as a clear
mandate to do so. He believes that universal gun ownership was
advocated by the Framers of the Constitution as an antidote to a
"monopoly of force" by the government as well as criminals. Vermont’s
constitution states explicitly that "the people have a right to bear arms
for the defense of themselves and the State, "and those persons who are
"conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms" shall be required to "pay
such equivalent...”
ALRIGHT! :D I hope it's true!

Has anyone read the comments in the link? It's from 2000, and the guy isnt even a rep any longer. It never passed, and from comments I've seen elsewhere, it wasnt considered constitutionally supportable.

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?

It sounds like the same thing that has been fought as unconstitutional with Obamacare in that the Gov't can't force you to buy something that you don't want.

Kennesaw GA and Bowerbank Me have the same law....

The City's most famous ordinance adopted in March 1982 reads as follows. Click here for a link to the Police Department for statistical information on crime or contact the City Clerks office for additional information. Sec. 34-1 Heads of households to maintain firearms.
(a) In order to provide for the emergency management of the City, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the City limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.(b) Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who suffer a physical or mental disability, which would prohibit them from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who are paupers or who conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.
