Does anyone know how it happened that we in the western United States went from carrying guns on our hips to the laws we have now? I just watched an episode of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman last night where Matthew becomes sheriff and guns were prohibited to be carried.

IQ2 debate - The Constitutional Right To Bear Arms Has Outlived Its...
“A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” –2nd Amendment
Recent mass shooting tragedies have renewed the national debate over the 2nd Amendment. Gun ownership and homicide rates are higher in the U.S. than in any other developed nation, but gun violence has decreased over the last two decades even as gun ownership may be increasing. Over 200 years have passed since James Madison introduced the Bill of Rights, the country has changed, and so have its guns. Is the right to bear arms now at odds with the common good, or is it as necessary today as it was in 1789?
