During that time Wyatt Earp tamed 3 of the wildest towns of the era, Tombstone, Dodge City and Wichita. In all 3 his first action was to "repeal the right to carry" of populace.

And he, like the other sheriffs and marshalls of the time, had the legal right to.

"To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, countries or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government. The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws." -- John Adams

Gotta love it when FRs two most notorious gun law supporters get together to slap backs and cheer each other on in their communitarian agendas... Mindboggling to think you two still claim to be 'conservatives'.
