While I see everyone here saying that it'd be great and all, I sure hope you don't mean it.

I would love to see a gun in every single house and on every hip in the US, what a wonderful world that would be... but what I want even more so is the right to choose to do it or not. That's liberty! The freedom to choose. Requiring everyone with a pulse to own a gun is no more constitutional or acceptable than requiring health insurance. I applaud the lawmakers in SD for doing this but I hope (and expect) it to not pass. I just hope that the libs see the double standard that they are making and the precedent that is being set.

I agree that's their intent, and have the same objections against a government telling me I have to do something as I have against them telling me I can't do something.

If it allows for exceptions for unqualified persons and conscientious objection, along with following the old school virginia system of 'gov't issued to be repaid when possible if you can't afford one,' then there's no reason it shouldn't be constitutional. Just have to turn in a signature and check the box with your appropriate objection and/or disability when you turn 21 if you don't want one.
