Colorado Town Requires Gun in Every House

The town of Nucla, Colorado, population under 700, passed an ordinance in 2013 requiring every head of household to own a gun. The law exempts felons, people with a disability that would prohibit them from using a firearm, those who cannot afford a gun and conscientious objectors. "This is a hunting, ranching community and everybody already has guns," said board trustee Richard Craig, who proposed the ordinance. Trustee Bill Long was the only no vote. "There's no difference between the government telling us you can't own guns or you must own guns," he said.
