Yes, while it would be unconstitutional for the federal government to
pass this law, how could it be unconstitutional as a local or state
statute? Something similar to requiring X number of smoke detectors per
square foot. Additionally, it does not mention a paperwork requirement for
not owning a gun.
While I admit it seems like a foolish law (akin to requiring a citizen
to vote), I hardly see how it would require 'a killing'. Also, given their
views, killing them may not be as easy as others who are unarmed. ;-)
Thanks!
