I've been there. And it seems so long ago. . .
I was looking at events that impacted the firearms community in the US, and I vaguely remember news that seemed irrelevant.
It will be 32 years ago on August 24th since
The Los Angeles County, Calif., Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to ban the Great Western Gun Show, billed as the "World's Largest Gun Show" from the Pomona fairgrounds where it had been held for the last 30 years.

Until we meet! Cheers, Ben
