1933 Arizona Legislature ... the good old days

From the Journal of the (Arizona) House of Representatives, 1933, p.167:
At 10:21 AM, the Sergeant-at-Arms announced His Excellency the Governor of Arizona, who addressed the legislature as follows:
"Mr. Speaker, Gentlemen of the Senate, House, and citizens of the State of Arizona:
I am not here this morning with a .45-90, or any malice of any kind in my heart...."
I'll bet that the vast majority of the folks he was addressing knew exactly what a "45-90" was. I wounder how many of today's reps & senators would understand a reference to "308" or "5.56"?
