Kennesaw, Georgia passed a law in 1982 that requires every family to own a firearm and ammunition. Since the law has been enacted, the town has had a very low crime rate.

"25 years murder-free in 'Gun Town USA'"
Robert Jones, president of the Kennesaw Historical Society, gives a unique and refreshing perspective for advocates of the Second Amendment. "People in Europe feel they need to be protected by the government. People in the U.S. feel they need to be protected from the government." Sounds radical in today's world where too many people only want government to protect them, doesn't it?

George Washington once said, "Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth." The right to own a firearm has been a staple of the American way of life ever since beginning of our country. President Washington said those words when the American people, by and large, were willing to accept the personal responsibilities necessary for liberty to prevail.
