Interesting year.  Gun ownership in the [[US]] rose to an all-time high, while violent crime fell to a [[Myth:more guns means more crime|35-year low]].  Despite this, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts held that [[Heller]] did not apply to the Massachusetts state legislature and that the [[trigger lock|gun locks]] ordered under Massachusetts law are different than those regulated in Heller.  California, meanwhile, tried to institute a [[firearm microstamping]] law (which would have conveniently exempted law enforcement).  It failed.
