The small town of Craig, Colorado, is seriously considering a proposal that would require every household in the town to own a sporting rifle equipped to hold a high-capacity magazine.
The idea, proposed by town resident Craig Rummel, is an attempt to gain the attention of state legislature. Craig believes that the Democrat-controlled state senate is overlooking the needs and desires of western and rural residents.
"For too long, the state Legislature has been hammering us," Craig
said. "They're destroying our economy. Our voices are not being heard, but if we pass an ordinance, it will go viral, and then they'll be forced to listen to us."
The proposed ordinance would include exemptions for those not mentally or physically capable of operating a firearm, those who cannot afford a firearm, and those who oppose owning a firearm for personal or religious reasons.
