1934
The South had no choice, they were out gunned, out manned, and out of supplies.
The results of the Native American and American conflicts was almost an annihilation of Native American dominance of the land. Currently many Native Americans have chosen to live on US created reservations that stretch from coast to coast. For the most part it can be said that they are not part of American culture. The settlement of the Federal territories from the middle of 19th century on wards to the early years of the 20th Century saw the deaths of many Native Americans. They were outnumbered and out "gunned" in the face of Federal armies and belligerent settlers and miners.
History considers the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29, 1890, to be the end of the free Indian. This was where a band of about 350 Indians were gunned down by soldiers. Most of the men, women and children were slaughtered and their bodies left in the snow until they could be recovered several days later.
The stock marked fell by 50%, there were runs on banks and trusts, and a number of companies went out of business. All this caused a recession that was already underway to get much worse. There is a link below.
You should look up Birmingham, Alabama. People's houses and churches were bombed, people were gunned and beaten down. The Birmingham police even had a tank-like vehicle which sprayed water under high pressure which was strong enough to knock people off of their feet. Whites would spit, yell, and throw things at blacks passing by. Police wouldn't stop violence a lot of the time because many of them were members of the KKK.There were segregated schools (whites went to better schools with better teachers, while blacks went to not-so-good schools with only black teachers).Water fountains were segregated, and would have signs above them which would either read (whites only), or (blacks only). If a white water fountain broke, it would be fixed. If a black water fountain broke, it would stay that way. Blacks drinking from white water fountains could be arrested or abused. Black public bathrooms were left dirty whereas white public bathrooms were kept clean. Blacks had to sit in the backs of buses, and not next to white people.One song by Big Bill Broonzy (a black man) is about how whites treated others. The chorus was (from the white's perspective),"If you're white, you're alright,If you're brown, stick around,But if you're black, get backIf you're black, get back."However, there were still many whites who were not racist. They either didn't talk about it to avoid alienation from others, or tried to help blacks get more equality and ended up becoming targets in their community.

In October 12 1988 there was the Walsh Street police shootings: Two Victoria Police officers were gunned down, execution style, in Australia.
If someone is "gunned down" it means they were shot, and most likely died as a result of the gunshot wound(s).
Literally, it would mean being shot with a machine gun: The soldier machine-gunned the enemy. Figuratively, it can relate to things making the same sound as a machine gun (a woodpecker machine gunned in the distance), or things coming at you too rapidly to deal with them individually: they machine-gunned suggestions at her.
