Thom Hartmann: Zimmerman - The Wild West was a Myth!

What do Clint Eastwood - John Wayne and Paul Newman have to do with America's gun-loving trigger-happy culture? Heck - George Zimmerman may have even had that cowboy streak - believing that he was the lone ranger - armed and ready to defend his town from enemy drifters. The trouble is - The Wild West was a myth.

I'm glad Mr. Hartmann is helping to propagate it.

the wild west was a myth, the eastern states and cities were much more wild and lawless than compared to the west.
But firearms were a huge part of the west. Hartmann is a total fucking idiot when it comes to the 2A and it's meaning.
His interpertation of the 2A goes against the SCOTUS, POTUS, and the majority of constitutional scholars.
I think I'll believe them before I believe Thom Hartmann.
