Which part of "you don't have to if you don't want to" do you have
trouble understanding?
This is a symbolic piece of legislation with a loophole for anyone who
is against the idea.

Nope, it's a law stating that you must have a firearm in your home.

Cite the law text.

"In 1982, the Kennesaw City Council unanimously passed a law requiring
heads of households to own at least one firearm with ammunition."

I think it is silly but I don't see it as being that intrusive on
anyone's rights.

Really? You don't mind someone telling you you must own a firearm? Well,
then would you mind if someone told you you COULDN'T own one?

In 1982, the Kennesaw City Council unanimously passed a law requiring
heads of households to own at least one firearm with ammunition.

Do I have to go look that law up and prove you wrong again?
It has the same exemptions for anyone who believes they do not want to
have a gun.

I am not convinced that is what the law actually says.

It was done as a response to other laws in blue states that prohibit
owning a gun. They are just making a statement.

What states say that you can't own a gun?

Until McDonald and Heller, Chicago and DC
They are still making it very hard to do hence the new suits working
their way through the courts.
There are also plenty of guns you can't own in most blue states and
when you can, it is a bureaucratic boondoggle.

So, again, "what states say that you can't own a gun?"

California (among some other states) won't let you have over 100
particular guns and I have already named a couple cities that are
still defying the SCOTUS with anti-gun laws and administrative rules
about owning any guns

It is Georgia, why do you care?

You've once again totally missed the point. I'll ask again. Why is it
fine with the right wing to tell people they must own a gun if they are
a homeowner, but then turn around and whine when a law is passed that
they don't like and their rebuttal is that they don't need more laws
telling them what to and what not to do?

Track down the actual text of the law and we can talk.

No I am not doing it, it is your rant, you do a little work yourself.

Again, you miss the point. The right is okay with a law that says that
you must have a gun and ammunition for it in your home, but then they
whine about wanting government out of their business.

These laws in Kennesaw and Nelson are voluntary compliance laws with
no penalty, which makes them more of a mission statement than a law.

If all of the government legislation allowed people to exempt
themselves if they didn't believe in it I would not be complaining
about big government.

Stupid laws for stupid people, whether they are enforced
