Don't these jackwagons ever get tired of wasting everyone's time penning these bankrupt pieces of propaganda?
If guns weren't central to the foundation and development of this country's history, there would not be a specific amendment in the Bill of Rights protecting our right to keep and bear them.

There most certainly WAS a "wild west," though it is also true many myths abound about it. Winchester, Colt, Remington, Smith & Wesson and other gun makers provided valuable defense tools for those moving westward. In the 1800s those tools were firearms, in an earlier time they might have been swords or crossbows.
No imaginary "need" for them was concocted by the makers, people buying & using them created the demand.
The west was not "wild?"
Ask George Armstrong Custer...ask Chief Crazy Horse or Sitting Bull, I think you'D get a different story. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
