Yeah, Joseph Smith died a real hero against those anti-Mormon bigots. First thing they did was launch the Nauvoo expositor, daring to expose his systematic abuse of women and his dictatorial designs, and THEN they got all legalistic on him for innocently having an angry mob burn it to the ground. If only that gun didn’t conk out after a couple of shots, then maybe Ol’ Smith could have killed a few extra of the buggers.

Actually, Joseph Smith had TWO loaded weapons in jail [imagine today, an accused criminal -- an inmate -- being killed in a shootout...how would it come across for such an inmate's family to portray him as a "martyr"???]

While Smith didn't shoot the second weapon, he fired ALL the rounds from the first weapon.
