[more] What else happened today

2005 — The NRA and Second Amendment Foundation file a lawsuit on behalf of two firearm owners whose guns were seized in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. 2010 — Canadian Members of Parliament in the Liberal and New Democratic parties, many of whom had long campaigned on promises to end the Canadian long gun registry, betrayed their constituents by voting to kill Bill C-391, which would have put an end to it. Today is Resistance Fighting Day in Estonia, commemorating Otto Tief's attempt to restore the Estonian independence in 1944. Today marks the feast of Saint Maurice, the patron saint of infantrymen.
