This Day in History: October 4

On this day in 1777, 11,000 Patriots under General George Washington attempt an early morning attack on British General William Howe's 9,000 British troops at Germantown, Pennsylvania, five miles north of the British-occupied capital city of Philadelphia.

How many think the Americans were fighting so that one day, Pennsylvania could enact stricter gun control laws?
