"It's October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, and Arizona is not yet a state. The O.K. Corral is quiet, and it's had an unremarkable existence for the two years it's been standing—although it's about to become famous. Marshall Virgil Earp, having deputized his brothers Wyatt and Morgan and his pal Doc Holliday, is having a gun control problem.

Flawed. How many of the murders in mining and railroad camps/towns involved a firearm?
It also fails to mention that the Clantons and Earps had a history before the gunfight and the the Clantons were not walking around town armed just to protest gun control laws.
The Earps were not primarily interested in the Clantons because they were gun control scofflaws… |
