Guns. Guns happened.

  The Wild West, very famous for not having guns.

    Yes, as the saying goes: “If only they had guns in the Wild West, it would’ve been _really_ Wild”

      It is worth saying that Dodge City, Kansas, was a no-gun zone at one time. Cowboys arriving checked their weapons with the town police, and retrieved them when they left.

        Fascinating. How effective was that? Were there really no guns?

    You missed the point. He is saying the application of state violence against the outlaws of the wild west using firearms is what caused the decline of outlaws in the wild west.

      If that was indeed the point then his three word sentence did a very shoddy job at highlighting it.

    My favorite Wild West movie scenes are the ones where the cowboys meet back to back at high noon, take 10 paces, turn around, and yell "Bang" then one passes out.

      Those are Hollywood, not reality.

        I don't think that's ever happened in a movie, has it?
