Nope. Freedom also means freedom NOT to do something.
You’re both right.
It should be a law everywhere. That’s just him voicing his opinion, he’s not saying all governments absolutely have to pass this and compel people to buy a private product (like a health insurance policy). “Should” is not “Must”. Should is “ought to”, Must is “you have no choice”. He was obviously arguing that it’s a really good idea and because of that, and the benefits it brings, it should be adopted across the country.
As the law he said should be enacted everywhere has an exemption clause in it nobody would have to that really didn’t want to - unlike the healthcare law. Further tying in to it don’t call the police if you’re under attack, we wouldn’t want to use guns to hurt your attacker, is a brilliant affirmation of the opt-outs views about guns. It would be hypocritical for these anti-gun folks to accept armed police help.
You are also right that local communities have the right to decide whether they want a law like this or not. He just thinks they’d be better off it they did have one. Not that they all must be required to pass one.
