| The Dodge City and Tombstone lawman in 1928, 47 years after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral |
“If Virgil or Wyatt (Earp) had found this
NRA supporter posing for pictures wearing a Colt .45 in public, they’d have
clubbed him — or ‘buffaloed’ him in this parlance of the time — hauled him off
to jail, and fined him $25 for carrying firearms within the city limits.”
In other words, the Wild West was tamer than 21st century America.
