There IS one flaw in the Everybody Heavily Armed All
The Time theory. It depends on people acting in a
rational fashion. Well, sometimes they DON'T. They
get angry and everybody reaches for the most potent
weapon at hand.

Alas we're talking "averages" here - and I still think
an armed society IS - overall - a more polite society.
So, the Greater Good is served - with the unfortunate
side-effect of more stupid killings.

Note that a LARGE percentage of those stupid killings
revolve around GANGSTERS/THUGS ... protected classes
the cops refuse to deal with anymore. GET the cops
to deal with them again and there won't be nearly as
many stupid killings.

Since everyone is equal before the law, how do you write the law
to keep those who are not however you determine 'rational' from
being heavily armed when they're not?

Our cities are lot less 'heavily armed' than you hicks. If by
'more polite' you mean not murderring each other, you're wrong.

Cite your evidence. And cite the law or case law that allows
'classes' to be protected from prosecution for murder.

And those who have an "honor culture ", where the response to
insult is a duel. Or a feud. That's been an issue long before guns
were invented.

Here in the south we say "nobody cares about shooting children because they
don't vote and they don't donate to our party"

We love the NRA donations too.

"The “Old West” conjures up all sorts of imagery, but
broadly, the term is used to evoke life among the crusty
prospectors, threadbare gold panners, madams of brothels,
and six-shooter-packing cowboys in small frontier towns –
such as Tombstone, Deadwood, Dodge City, or Abilene, to
name a few. One other thing these cities had in common:
strict gun control laws."
