Gun Control Proposal for Hawaii

[MarkD]

Good article. There's some pretty wild depictions of gun fire in the history of the West, including drunks regularly firing pistols shots in the ceiling of saloons in exuberance.

And people firing shots at a person's feet, compelling them to dance. The usual victims were people who were judged to be newbies to the West. Tenderfeet. This story has gotten a lot of mileage.

Each probably happened in some cases. But I don't recall many accounts of people in the historical West going on random mass-murder rampages as we see regularly today.
