If only outlaws have guns, it's easier to tell who the outlaws are. Arrest them
on the way to the bank, lock them up, throw away the key, and there will be fewer bank robberies.
Come all of you cowboys all over this land,
I'll teach you the law of the Ranger's Command:
To hold a six shooter, and never to run
As long as there's bullets in both of your guns.
