Gold Mounted Guns Summary
Gold Mounted Guns was a story where the title was used as a trap or lure for criminals. One criminal named Will thought that the sheriff was the number one villain in town. That was only because of his signature gold mounted guns. It also showed in the end when he states out, “I’m the sheriff that killed him yesterday... how he was the number one sheriff in town not the villain. Everyone thought this because of his guns. The part of the story in the end shows that he’s as gold as his guns. He used them as a lure for criminals but also it’s his personality or rank in life and how he is number one. It’s how he's the golden sheriff. “Why,” said the lean man dryly, “ I'm the sheriff that killed him yesterday. Let's be ridin back.” Is the quote

    Diamond makes various arguments about diseases. The argument he makes that I will mention is that deadly disease came from Europe and spread to other places killing people that were unfamiliar with the disease.

    In Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond is the response to a question Diamond had been asked by a New Guinean politician, Yali, in 1972. The question was, “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people have little cargo of our own?” This refers to the inequality between many different civilizations, quite like how Europeans developed great objects and wealth that they used to dominate over other societies.
