Jesse James and the case against gun control
Play
In the southwestern corner of the United States – excluding California – criminals avoid robbing banks and shops, because almost everyone carries a gun.
The criminals only have to recall the fate of the James Gang a century and a half ago, surrounded by angry armed townsfolk while trying to rob a bank in Northfield, Minnesota. The gang of outlaws met with instant justice that day in the shape of a hail of bullets.
When everyone carries a gun, criminals move on.
