CDZ The Wild west had stricter gun control laws than we have today.

The OP had to post this in the CZ so as not to be called an idiot.

It was not until the 1920s that the Supreme Court began to incorporate the Constitution and apply the same limits on states that the federal government had.

For better , or worse, prior to that the Bill of Right specifically did not limit what states or local governments could do. Want to ban guns? Fine, want to ban free speech ? That's okay to. Want to , well you get the point.

Technically without incorporation a State could establish an official religion (as long as the State's own Constitution didn't ban it)

And in fact several of the original states did have official religions. Because originally the Constition was ONLY meant to limit the federal government, not state or local governments. And yes that does mean that up and until incorporation there were much tougher gun laws in states and localities than we see today.

And the fact that criminals are criminals because they don't obey laws doesn't change that fact.

The fact that criminals don't obey laws pales in comparison to fools who want more laws in spite of that fact, instead of being responsible for themselves. The much reported on cry of, "we never thought it could happen here" is lost on fools through the ages.

We have just became a culture in which facts are not as important as feelings. I mean just intellectually a person can look at say Chicago and say "tough gun laws, high murder rate proves tough gun are not the answer" and then again you can look further at the data and see that the tough gun laws don't mean shit when the criminal justice system there is a revolving door" but that doesn't matter to people who just want more gun laws.

You want gun control, you want to talk about the Old West? Great, let's talk about the Old West. Back in Wyatt Earp's day if a man murdered someone on Monday he could expect that he would be tried on Wednesday and hung on Friday.

What never changes is that they will always be armed, not matter how much you disarm law abiding people.

Thanks to the media and the public schools, we are jam packed with idiots. It doesn't matter if the prison system is a "revolving door", what matters is that people are responsible for themselves no matter what lib fools and the media say.

I disagree. If they are in prison, or dead, they won't be armed.

True, but it is also true that the government is supposed to punish those who can't control themselves in
