Required: every residence to be equipped with assault-style weapon

The town of Craig, Colorado is considering a proposal presented to it by a local citizen. The plan would require all residents of the town to have at least one sporting rifle equipped to hold a high-capacity magazine.

Craig is in the northwest corner of Colorado, not far from Vernal, Utah. It depends on hunting for much of its livelihood.

I went there once to be a spectator at a unique event. Thousands of people watched in silence as sheep dogs guided sheep down a hill through a series of gates. The crowd was silent because the dogs needed to heed the call or whistle of their human master, who stood near the base of the hill at the end of the last gate. It was an awesome experience.
