Sure. If we actually had a functioning militia in which all able-bodied adults were required to serve, I would consider a mandate to maintain appropriate equipment reasonable. They do it in Switzerland…as wingnuts who hate the healthcare mandate never tire of pointing out, because the idea of everyone having to own a Sig makes them horny. (I believe, however, that you don’t have to buy the guns yourself in Switzerland, they let you keep your goverment-issued ones from military service for militia use. But that would just be socialism.)

This is the best paragraph I’ve read on LGF in a very long time.
