Easy there. There are plenty of firearms in Kansas and there have been for 150 years (ever heard of Dodge City?).

Yes,I have heard of Dodge City, and Witchita, parts of my family settled Kansas in the 1860's, Newton, Ellsworth, etc . and I also had family relatives that lived down the road next to the Earp brothers parents homestead between Newton and Witchita. My great grandaddy was personal friends and neighbors with the Earp and Masterson families.

Wasnt Dodge City one of the very first cities in the United States where law abiding citizens allowed themselves to be willingly disarmed by gun control?

You need to learn more about the history of Kansas, and the early history of gun control and the first citizens who gave up their rights of self defense.

Read up, bright boy.

It seems you're the one in need of some education on Kansas history. When Wyatt Earp came in from Witchita [sic] he drew a line bisecting town. Only a part of the town was restricted from possessing handguns. It was the "red light district" where cowboys (not residents of the town) were not allowed to carry guns.

Additionally, Wyatt Earp's parents never had a homestead anywhere in Kansas. He was born in Illinois, lived at one time or another in Kentucky, Iowa, California and Missouri, but never in Kansas. I happen to be quite familiar with the area between Newton and Wichita, and I've never heard of any such Earp homestead.

You're not too bright, are you?
