Reception
Like many American films of the time, The Empty Gun was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors required a cut of a scene of the woman shooting the husband.[2]
gollark: I make up for the low RAM by using zswap, which holds some RAM contents... in RAM... but compressed.
gollark: It might be a combination of low RAM and bad CPU/GPU really.
gollark: ... I only have 8GB of RAM here.
gollark: ~100 mods or so, which most people should be able to handle okay.
gollark: Who are you, and I would prefer a smaller one.
