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: If you're within 1m of a laser, you might be blinded but might be fine. If you're within 1m of the sun, you will immediately cease to meaningfully exist.
gollark: It's MUCH more dangerous than any human laser technology.
gollark: I like to remain safe from laser videos by wearing sunglasses, which are known to provide good laser protection.
gollark: Based on what spirit says a lot, I'd assume vacuums are quite hard.
gollark: How easily is "easily"? Is it "easily if you have lots of expensive equipment already"?
