TheBlaze: Conservatives and gun rights advocates are coalescing for a pre-inaugural event that is being dubbed “Gun Appreciation Day” (GAD). Planned for Jan. 19, the pro-Second Amendment initiative will take place just two days before President Barack Obama officially commences his second term.
Much like the actions urged by organizers of “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” and “Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day,” two recent initiatives launched by right-of-center advocates, those behind the firearms effort are urging supporters to head to gun stores, shows and ranges to open their wallets in support of gun rights. The event is a essentially a protest against what is perceived as too-much government intervention in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
In a press release announcing the effort, the coalition urged supporters to line up “around the block” in a joint effort to rail against planned federal restrictions on guns. Organizers expect to reach more than 50 million Americans in the next two weeks on the Internet, via mailings and through television and radio appearances.
Mark it on your calendars and support YOUR RIGHT to keep and bear arms!
