The Wild West actually had EXTREMELY strict gun laws.
In most towns in the Wild West you were not allowed to have guns within city limits.
The shootout at the OK Coral happened because Claborne and his crew would not reliquish their guns to Wyatt Earp as was Tombstone's law.

Gun control didn't help to stop the violence their either.
It just made it easier to ambush people in taverns and such, since you could just walk up to them and shoot them since they would be unarmed.
