What fueled our gun culture. A little history. Mythology.

[Toots_mcgee]

The historical reality of the American frontier was more complex and nuanced than its popular mythology. But it’s the mythology that fuels American gun culture today, which rejects the types of laws that were commonplace in the Old West.

American gun culture is based on frontier mythology – but ignores how common gun restrictions were in the Old West

Reenactments of Old West gunfights, like this one at a tourist attraction in Texas in 2014, are part of the mythology underpinning the United States' gun culture. Carol M. Highsmith via Library of CongressIn the wake of the Buffalo and Uvalde mass shootings, 70% of Republicans said it is more...

So because some Towns in the Old West often not part of America but territories had laws that where unconstitutional and oppressive to individuals, and we should follow their example is that your point?

Don’t be so hard on yourself. Your tribe just over turned Roe so now in many states, rapists get to pick the mother of their child.

I guess that you think rape is motivated by the need to procreate?

Still trying to figure out what you're a professional at. This comment, among many others lately, are childish playground idiocy. No point except to throw rocks and try to take the other kid's toys. I guess when you believe the stupidity that depraved society spews out it's probably hard to post actually sensible facts.

LOL you lack of intellect is showing if you think I'm another poster on this board. I've been on vacation since last Thur. and believe me I have better things to do than look over this board while having Fun with Guns and Fire Works.

I'm coming to the conclusion that all you leftist must have shadow handles and project that to other people.

As far as being the foremost 2A historian he has written some books and has admitted to lying about Gun Facts.....Do some research about your source's and look into their lies and politics.

Or just keep spewing your cultish propaganda. Saul's is a just another Leftwing Academic who self proclaims himself as a authority on a subject and then bends/twists and outright lies about data and research. Of course the Left wingers go along with it cause it's what they do.

Tell that to the 10 year old in Ohio. Facts matter.

So you now lower yourself to the tell that to the victim response? That type of response has nothing to do with facts, data, or logical reasoning. It is purely a emotional post trying to deflect from the Truth that taking away the rights of those who will never commit a criminal act of violence with their legal firearm won't protect 10 years in any state in America.

Facts do matter, but instead you swim in the emotional belief that more laws, and more govt control will some how protect people from highly motivated criminally insane people. This has never been the case historically throughout human history.
