Something that’s always bothered me with The lionization of the Earps, as depicted by Hollywood...If they were such great right-thinking figures, why were they always depicted as trying to impose a form of gun control?
Hollyweird rarely gets history right.
The Earps played both sides of the law.
Might they have been concerned with guns and so much alcohol? Just a thought.
Love your screen name by the way.
They weren’t any better than those they arrested for the most part. It’s just that they had badges. Lots of people from the old West were not as they’ve been depicted. But they did understand PR. Wyatt tried to sell his story to Hollywood in the 1920s.
Davy Crockette was the first to “create” a legendary story about himself. Even though his true exploits would have done the trick.
They wanted gun control for people they didn't like....
sound familiar ???
