‘Shane’ (1953): The Law of the Gun, Manifest Destiny and The American Dream

Shane: “A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.”

‘….But No one burns as God unless they fall with him to hell, wherein the candle glows that knows the darkness to be God as well.’’
