There were actually US Marshal back then as well.    


Even after the creation of more than 50 specialized federal law enforcement agencies during the 20th century, the Marshals retained the broadest jurisdiction and authority. For over 200 years now, U.S. Marshals and their Deputies have served as the instruments of civil authority used by all three branches of government. Marshals have been involved in most of the major historical episodes in America's past.  


The point Greco was making and making correctly is that there have been many actual cases over the years where guns were not allowed in town and it almost completely ended the gun violence in those towns. 


Same thing with outlawing fully automatic weapons. That cut down to almost nothing the tommy gun killings that were very prevalent before the ban. 


And before you ask... I've owned a ton of guns including a Thompson semi-auto, M1 Carbine and AR15. And still today own 2 handguns a Beretta model 70s .380 and a Dan Wesson pistol pack .357 magnum.
