Are you really going to tell me the Wild West was somehow unAmerican?
Today, such local regulations might include — if a city or town so chose — reporting all sales of cop-killing bullets, silencers, bullet-proof vests, and large amounts of ammunition . . . with the right of law enforcement to make polite inquiries and sensible judgements.
Law enforcement: “I see you just bought a bullet proof vest and 1,000 rounds of ammo. May I ask why?”
Sullen teenager: “I like to hunt rabbits.”
Law enforcement: “I’m sorry. Local Ordinance 234 gives me authority to confiscate those items, and any other weaponry you have, until you can persuade a judge that your owning them does not pose an undue risk to your fellow citizens. But you can still apply to join the National Guard, which is our state’s well-regulated militia.”
