That is not anything like what the 2nd Amendment says but you're perfectly willing to ignore that. Where do you live in Tommy? "The wild west was wild because there was NO WORK". The town of Tombstone where the famous gun fight took place in October 1881.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tombst...th_and_decline By mid-1881 there were fancy restaurants, Vogan's Bowling Alley,[34] four churches—Catholic, Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Methodist[14]—an ice house, a school, the Schieffelin Hall opera house, two banks, three newspapers, and an ice cream parlor, alongside 110 saloons, 14 gambling halls,[35][36] several Chinese restaurants, French, two Italian, numerous Mexican, several upscale "Continental" establishments, and many "home cooking" hot spots including Nellie Cashman's famous Rush House and numerous brothels all situated among and on top of a number of dirty, hardscrabble mines.[37] The Arizona Telephone Company began installing poles and lines for the city's first telephone service on March 15, 1881.[38] Tombstone had a population of over 15000 people by mid-1880s and there were more then 10 producing silver mines in the area. -- Cheers, John B. |

I could not have watched a man attempt to murder another via vehicular assault and then failing that then try to beat him to death without taking very painful action. I'm not above breaking a man's liver in such a situation. |

What has Dr. Fauci got to do with your statement "The wild west was wild because there was NO WORK"? The facts are that in 1800's people were flocking to the west. Example: 1800 - 10% of all Americans resided west of the Appalachian Mountains, primarily in Tennessee, Kentucky, and the area of West Virginia 1824 - 30% of all Americans resided in the region between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River, with increased movement further west into unsettled territories. The population of Texas was 212,592 in 1850 and 10 years later had grown to 604,215 - some 284% higher and by 1870 reached 818,579 a growth of 385%. Do you really believe that all those people were going West to get out of work? -- Cheers, John B. |
