In this episode of Waywut, we dig into one of the wildest and most overlooked conflicts in American frontier history: The San Elizario Salt War of the 1800s.

What began as a community resource dispute in West Texas turned into a violent land grab involving corrupt lawyers, shady judges, and vigilante justice. And yes—people were literally killed over salt.

We also kick things off with a rant about conflict, bad tempers, and why not everyone should carry a weapon—even if it's legal. It's not about taking away guns. It's about knowing your limits.

In this episode:

• How Spanish and Mexican laws clashed with American capitalism
• Political betrayal, murder, and a shotgun in a rocking chair
• What the Salt War tells us  ...
