...and since I'm noting special dates in history...

...here's another.

1997 – The United Kingdom commences its Firearms (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1997, which extends the state's gun ban to include all handguns -- with the exception of antique and show weapons.

That's the wish of every gun banner in the United States and where we end up, despite the Second Amendment, despite Heller, despite McDonald, despite every gain we've made in the last few years unless we keep fighting the fight. It's their dream. It's our nightmare.
