Where is that report? The source?

Correction: Many if not most cowboys didn't carry pistols. They got in the way while they were working and scared the cattle when they were fired. There were firearms available at homesteads. Hollywood has done the West no favors.

Side note: As many as half the cowboys in the West were escaped slaves. Ranchers didnt care what color they were as long as they were willing to work.

Oh well, a good reason for the RW's to practice their armed Michael Jordon/Rambo triple backflip,quad barrel roll tactic and burn off some of those chicken sandwich calories.

Perhaps, but that is speculation. Another possibility *is* that one faction of Sikh's attempted to kill the visiting priest as has happened in India, see this story. Singh is a fairly common name though, so this particular priest may not be a problem. One of the reports said Punjab Singh was the guest speaker, but Punjab is a province, so that may have only been where he came from.

Who else here believes Obama is coming for our guns and Bibles and reactions like this are simply inevitable?

I'm here shivering under my afghan as we speak, awaiting my fate in either the FEMA concentration camps or before Michelle's death panels as the New Black Panthers, funded by ACORN and laundered money from Solyndra, march down my street, led by Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, armed with automatic weapons with the serial numbers scratched off from the Fast and Furious program that somehow escaped Sheriff Joe down there in Arizona, while a murderous platoon of anchor babies loots my neighborhood grocery store and launches into a flash mob, dancing to Latin rhythms, all the while a group of public teacher union thugs lift up senior citizens and shake the change out of their pockets to pay for the dope they smoke in the classroom as they teach our children how to masturbate and have gay sex while peeing on a likeness of Christ.

I want my country back!!!

I don't think the previous poster was referring to cowboys working on the range when referring to the "wild wild west".

Except for the Jains and the perpetually stoned potheads.

Indeed. Up to this point, our crazed gunmen have confined themselves to executing only the malcontents, the warmongers and the general ne'er do wells.

I'm with the poster on page one. Let's arm the Sikhs among us. And the sick too, for that matter. An armed Sikh society is a polite society.
