So why don’t we take control of congress and the Presidency and force everyone to purchase:
A firearm for each adult member of the family that can legally own a firearm
365 days worth of food for each member of the family
A portable generator
etc
They did that once. The Militia Act of 1792
What did they require of The People they enrolled in the Militia by statute?
That every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock, a sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch, with a box therein, to contain not less than twenty four cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of powder and ball; or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch, and powder-horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder; and shall appear so armed, accoutred and provided, when called out to exercise or into service, except, that when called out on company days to exercise only, he may appear without a knapsack.
This is nothing new.
