would this law work

[skeet]

The first thing the antis would do is say it would be going back to the days of the "wild" west. The west really wasn't as wild as they would have you believe though. Those movies with the bad guys takin over a town are bull hockey. These town folk had moved west into indian country and had fought in the Mexican and Civil Wars. They all had guns and knew how to use them so nobody was atakin over their town. Other than the few people who believed in the code duello the west was a very tame place to live after the indian stuff was done. Everybody had a gun and were very civil to each otherThere were some bad times that went on here and there but even the big cattle wars were pretty tame compared to now days. In the 60 yrs from 1840-1900 there were probably 1000-1200 real gun fights. as such. Lots of shooting and stabbings and fisticuffs of course but they were general crime somewhat like today and mostly based on the wrong side of the railroad tracks. The only real way what you have suggested would work is if there was swift and sure real justice in cases of transgressions of the laws. Not the namby pamby well if you do this we might do this to you stuff that they shove down our throats today. You kill somebody and are in the wrong..hang 'em high inside of 90 days. As in the novel it said ...Crime and Punishment...No crime...no punishment. Pretty simple. But with the soccer moms and dads taking over the running of a seriously messed up country ...and world...It just ain't agonna happen! Sadly! Oh even though those selfsame soccer moms and dads would want you to believe differently....it is NOT a kinder gentler world under their control. It might even be a LOT worse than the "wild west"
