Don't get me wrong. I have no romantic ideas about what the Wild West may have or have not been. I feel like we as a nation spend too much time, money and effort on idiots who don't have any regard for the law. I think if you take a life, you should forfeit yours. I think all punishments should be more severe in general. d&d first offense....5 years. If you hit someone, your car is taken and sold or just given to the person who's car you hit. Might make people think harder if it wasn't a slap on the wrist. I could go on but I'll digress.
