Actually it had been tried as a city in the 80s tried pass an
ordinance that everybody had to buy a firearm (don't recall right off
which kind) or pay a fine. That was tossed (quite rightly) because
you also have a right to not own a firearm under the second
amendment.

Kennesaw, Georgia. It wasn't tossed, it's still the law. You didn't have to
BUY a particular firearm, but each head of household was required to have
one handy. There were exceptions for religious reasons. The law went into
effect in 1982 and, since then, Kennesaw has not recorded a murder, forcible
rape, or felonious mopery. Kennesaw has the lowest crime rate in Cobb
county.

Another reason I don't like the laws that say private
property owners like malls must let people carry whether they want
them to or not.

There are compelling arguments on both sides. Inasmuch as a firearm is
constitutionally protected, property rights must yield in the same way a
mall cannot prohibit colored people, women, athiests, or those who merely
smell funny. (Not sure about the last.)
