Legislator Introduces Bill To Compel All Citizens To Purchase a Gun for Self-Defense

 

From Ace of Spades:

Last night Ann Coulter played law professor and asked, if the government can compel people to buy health insurance, may they also be compelled to buy a Bible or a gun?

I liked that so much that I hoped that someone would actually introduce a bill compelling just that, to prove the point. It's not federal, which would prove the point a little better as it's more directly analogous, but a legislator in South Dakota has decided to employ the Socratic Method in proposed legislation.
Ace has video. Go watch it.
