The inalienable right of the citizenry to keep and bear arms notwithstanding, this must've been an early pilot episode of the "A-Team" - lotsa shooting, few hits.
400 rounds from just the robbers?
Nobody said any of them were especially good shots.
Perhaps we should consult with the records of those citizens who lived in Northfield, Minnesota during the James-Younger Raid?
