Oh, Duh.

"Just a thought," wrote Publicola, "but since we have B.A.G. Day & National Ammo Day shouldn't we promote a day to go to the range & use said guns & ammo? Perhaps June 23rd?"

I was tired and didn't click on the link he included in his email. Instead, I tried to find the significance of that date, and wrote back:

"I always observe June 23 to commemorate when Larry Doby retired from the Cleveland Indians and Harry Truman vetoed the Taft-Hartley Act. Oh, and June Carter Cash's birthday.

"Any particular 2A-related significance of the date I'm missing?"

"David," he patiently replied, "That was the day SCOTUS handed down Kelo. Nuff said? :)"

That sure beats "Look at the link I provided, you damned idiot," don't you think?
