Steve's barking at gun controll in those old western movies

I remember many an old western when the cowboys would come into town the Marshall would take their guns and tell them they would get them back when they left town.
In some of those old movies the gunslinger would come into town and the Marshall would take his gun.
In other movies drunk would start shooting up the salon, the Marshall would come in, smack him on the head and take his gun away, throwing him in jail and only giving him his gun when he left town.
If these movies were made today there would be a whole slew of people complaining about that left wing Hollywood elite even though those movie scenarios were based on fact.
If Marshall Earp asked the cowboys coming into Dodge for their weapons, the cowboys would take there case to court, that darn Marshall Earp is trying to take our constitutional rights away.

We have a problem in reading with reading in this country, just think about it, who understand the meaning of the phrase a well regulated militia .
