Making Guns Mandatory in Missouri
Timothy Birdnow
A Republican in the Missouri House of Representatives has put forward a bill that would require all state residents to own at least one AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.
Andrew McDaniel has proposed "the McDaniel Militia Act" which would make every citizen over eighteen years of age own an AR-15. (Actually, if offers a tax credit if you buy one.) Liberal heads have begun to explode.
The text of the bill states:
While I doubt this will pass Constitutional muster, I would gladly maintain such a weapon, provided it was paid for by the State of Missouri. And I frankly enjoy the heck out of doing this; why should the Left be able to put forward crazy ideas and not our side? Give 'em a taste of their own medicine!
This is how to be an activist. This will force anti-gun people into the open, and make them waste valuable time and money resisting it. See, control of the narrative is important, which is why the Left always floats crazy ideas; they know we will waste time and effort fighting them, while they will move steadily elsewhere. Control of the time and place of battle is the essence of military strategy, and it is also true of political warfare. And you never know; you just might get your crazy idea. The Left got a Constitutional amendment to authorize the income tax after Republicans dared them to do it, for example.
I've often proposed doing such things. I remember when the city of San Francisco began issuing same sex marriage licenses to people in violation of state and federal law. I argued at the time that Conservatives should go to city hall and apply for licenses to marry their dogs, their blenders, their cars, their stuffed toys, etc. Make a farce of it. There is nothing more powerful than ridicule, Saul Alinsky said, and our side needs to learn to use it. Mandating guns is an example of doing just that; it flips what they are doing on it's head, making a mockery of their gun control schemes. That's how you do it.

does not own an AR-15 shall have one year to purchase an AR-15... Every
resident of this state shall own at least one AR-15"
