Every dictator throughout history who has came to power promptly disarmed the public. Stalin disarmed Russia, Hitler disarmed Germany, King Edward did not allow the Scott's to have broadswords, they learned to fight with rocks and sticks. "I do not stand against of tyrany to be safe, I stand against tyrany to be free" If rights and freedoms we believe in aren't worth dying for, then they are not worth believing in. If we allow our society to succumb to crime and our government to become so corrupt as being unable to govern effectively and fairly, then we are a disgrace to predecessors who launched this country and we will surely perish as a nation.

Kennesaw is in Cobb County and Marietta is the county seat. As I recall it was terribly controversial everywhere except in Cobb County. The law was not really aimed at crime, although it did have a dramatic impact on it. Rather, a town up north had instituted a gun ban and Kennesaw responded to it. I forget the northern town now. Anyway, Kennesaw has a clause that exempts anyone who really doesn't want to own a gun but most people living there have no problem with it and probably already owned one anyway. To Greenleaf Idaho I say go for it! I lived in Marietta, GA when Kennesaw instituted the mandatory gun law. Kennesaw is in Cobb County and Marietta is the county seat.
