Wild Wild West

The usual hysterics:  "If you pass CCW laws ( or what have you, value for X ) you'll just make this fine locale/city/state into something just like the shootout at the OK Corral."

Really?  Aside from that prediction hasn't come to pass in the dozens of times it was argued in the past 30 years...

Only 3 people died at the OK Corral.  And they were all bad guys.  Shot by ostensible lawmen.

Of course they were enforcing gun control, so, I am of mixed emotions on this.  But you'd think the gun-banners would be all for that.  But the Clanton's were also 'outlaws' so, by today's standard, prohibitted persons... 

Like I said... mixed feelings.

I never really turned that statement around and looked at it from this side before. So, are they saying 'If you pass (x) I will have you shot dead by suitably corrupt policemen'? Because that's a little more akin to what they seem to want to do...
