Happy Birthday Samuel Colt:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_07_19-2009_07_25.shtml#1248038998
Today is the anniversary of the 1814 birth of Samuel Colt. Not only
was Samuel Colt one of the greatest firearms designers of all time, he
was also a brilliant industrialist, a philanthropist, and an
outstanding pro-labor employer. In 2002, I wrote [1]an article in
support of making the Coltsville manufacturing area into a National
Park. In 2008, the area [2]became a National Historic Landmark; the
campaign for National Park status continues.

"The lord made men, but Sam Colt made them equal”
Happy Birthday Sam Colt, and Thank You.
Today also marks the start of the Boer War...
Wish they had some Colt's of their own for that one.
