Town passes ordinance requiring firearms


GEUDA SPRINGS, Kan.

I bet that the crime rate will drop

There is no D@MN way that a common criminal would ever want to mess with that town.

There is this woman who is a very stron advocate of firearms.

She said that the communities that use firearms for residents rather more often than cops, have a lower crime rate than the communities that DON'T use firearms.

I'm a strong supporter of that idea as well. Remember, every human has a right to protect their property and family.

This could only happen in America, at least I sincerely hope so. This town apparently has a population of 210 people. How can you be 100% certain that every one of those people is an honest upstanding citizen & fit to handle a gun?

Because in a town that small, you're either related to everyone, or you know everyone really well

Remind me not to visit.

I keep reading Pippins post over and over again and I can't help but laugh in dis-belief....

Hagar....
I think we should give GEUDA SPRINGS, Kan. a miss in our flights.... ...!
(I'll stick to 'Frisco in my Piper, and you to the South Pacific in your Corsair...much safer, and relaxed).... ...!
LOL...!

...actually it might work. Look at the Swiss. Almost everyone has a gun and their crime rate is very low.

Hi Pete...!

Shooting each other there is a daily way of life... ...!

....I know in this country people REALLY hate guns....

Hi Pete...
...too right mate... ...!
I'm one of them..!

I often wonder what the World would be like if all civilians didn't have guns to kill and maim each other with in the first place...?

Cheers mate...!

This is a very controversial subject & I don't want to get involved in that. Before quoting Switzerland as an example I think you should appreciate the true facts about their gun laws. Despite claims that Switzerland is one of the most armed countries in the world, only 27% of Swiss households have firearms, 60% of which are military weapons. This is a neutral country & as part of the their compulsory military service

all able-bodied males from 20 to 42 years of age are required to keep rifles or handguns at home.

I don't think it's unusual in most countries for a soldier to take his weapon home.

While their murder rate is below average I believe that Switzerland has the highest suicide rate in Europe, many firearm related. The Swiss are now seriously reconsidering their liberal gun laws.

I wonder why a law like that would be passed?

Its not like a mass of hungry bears are going to attack the town.
