Town passes ordinance requiring firearms
GEUDA SPRINGS, Kan. — Residents of this tiny south-central Kansas community
have passed an ordinance requiring most households to have guns and
ammunition.
Noncomplying residents would be fined $10 under the ordinance, passed 3-2
earlier this month by City Council members who thought it would help protect
the town of 210 people. Those who suffer from physical or mental
disabilities, paupers and people who conscientiously oppose firearms would
be exempt.
"This ordinance fulfills the duty to protect by allowing each individual
householder to provide for his or her protection," said Councilman John
Brewer.
