What Works in Apaloosa

Cole has a simple system: No guns. If he sees somebody with a gun, he’ll ask him to hand it over.

What if he refuses? “I’ll shoot him,” Cole says.

This works in Appaloosa because Cole does shoot people now and then and the town, judging from the size of the set in the movie, can’t have more than 200 inhabitants, if that. [More]
No, it works because it's fiction. Cole wouldn't last a day, at least in any place worth living.

So, he really isn't saying "no guns", just "no guns for anyone but me..." which is what all anti-defense bigots want.
