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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
