Okay so we have Mothers Day, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, on and on...
So I am proposing a new holiday! Shootist day! Typical gifts would inclued ammo, range time, tac gear and of course guns!
Maybe we could celebrate on Samuel Colt's or John Brownings birthday...

If we used Glock intro dates, there may be as many as 20 different dates during the year.

A special day for each Amendment. Where the people are encouraged to exercise that right, lest they be forgotten and lost.

Indeed it does.
