4. Let them get the votes. We did. :D

But seriously, the requirement to purchase a gun was related to the specific power of Congress to regulate the militias. Sure, gun-nuts could require every citizen of America to buy a gun if there was some valid connection to the powers and responsibilities that Congress has. Let them get the votes and the rationale together, though, because the reasoning behind the Militia Act has long flown the coop.
