One thing it lacks, the government should buy you the weapon.
If a citizen does not have health insurance and utilizes Medicare or Medicade, the burden falls on tax payers. If a person doesn't own a gun, that is no skin off my nose. I tend to care less and less about this subject when I read how some of these "educated" law makers come up with idiotic comparisons to prove the health care law is unconstitutional.
Someone said it before, but today's lawyers and law makers do not possesses the ability to reason intelligently. This proposal makes no sense and will only get the normal crowd to say, "Yeah, what about that, Hussein?"
I don't want the government telling me what I have to buy regardless of motivation or how good the product might actually be for me.

Right there with you. I'm just pounding the nail in a bit further.....That was kind of the point of the article and the reason the bill was proposed.
“Do I or the other cosponsors believe that the State of South Dakota can require citizens to buy firearms? Of course not. But at the same time, we do not believe the federal government can order every citizen to buy health insurance,” he said.
You may disagree with it but it seems like a fairly straightforward analogy. He believes that Obamacare's mandate that individuals must buy health insurance is not one of the powers of the Federal Government, even under the overly stretched interstate commerce clause. We have 2 Federal judges that have gone on record agreeing with that. Is his proposal absurd? Of course, as it was intended to be. Using absurdity to prove a point is an oft used logical device.

Ray Charles can see what they are trying to prove and he's blind and dead. So, this proposal was introduced as a joke? Is it real legislation? Are they going to push this bill through their local government, implement it and then have someone go to the courts to have it determined to be unconstitutional? Does anyone really care what happens in South Dakota?
I'm not a fan of the current health care plan, but the Governors are doing a good job and the law has recently been determined to be unconstitutional by the court and will eventually reach the SCOTUS. I just believe they should be working for their state with some real work instead of this garbage that makes no difference.
Maybe Government Motors are planing to produce firearms, this bill is just the foot in the door for "green" GM 9mm's???
