Today and for years now there seems a push to define or redefine the intent of the 2nd amendment…
The wild west even had to check their guns when in town, it’s not theater or folklore…
but quit simply that is not a part of the plan to turn citizens against any and all gun regulation through the use of fear, with no regard for need or application of commonsense…
In the past we were able to regulate guns without cries that we shredded the Constitution... today some in power and prominence see ignorance and amnesia, as ideal traits of a mind shapeable and obedient citizenry…. This is all developed and driven by profit motives…
Some examples of that past gun legislation might be, and I am sure there are many more…

Dodge City, Kansas
As early as 1876, Dodge City had a ban on carrying guns on the north side of town (the south side remained wide open), a ban that was rarely enforced. However, by 1883 the death toll from gun play had risen sufficiently for the town fathers to enact a stricter ban.
Ordinance No. 67 enacted August 14th 1882 specified that no one could “carry concealed or otherwise about his or her person, any pistol, bowie knife, slung shot or other dangerous or deadly weapons, except County, City, or United Sates Officers” and raised the fine from twenty-five dollars to one hundred dollars, no small amount in 1882. The Dodge City Times declared:
“There is a disposition to do away with the carrying of firearms, and we hope the feeling will become general. The carrying of firearms is a barbarous custom, and it’s time the practice was broken up.”

Tombstone, Arizona
In 1881 the town council passed an ordinance prohibiting the carrying of weapons in the town limits: Ordinance No. 9 “To Provide against Carrying of Deadly Weapons”, effective 19 April 1881. Excerpt:
It is hereby declared to be unlawful for any person to carry deadly weapons, concealed or otherwise (except the same be carried openly in sight, and in the hand) within the limits of the City of Tombstone.
This prohibition does not extend to persons immediately leaving or entering the city, who, with good faith, and within reasonable time are proceeding to deposit, or take from the place of deposit such deadly weapon.
All fire-arms of every description, and bowie knives and dirks, are included within the prohibition of this ordinance.
I hope the moderators allow the thread to run there needs to be some adult conversation on this subject that is more complicated than the few historic words that drive it…
