A coaltion of pro-gun groups is calling for a nationwide “Gun Appreciation Day” for Jan. 19. 

Details from the Washington Post:

The group is emulating the anti-gay marriage activists who made the Christian fast food chain Chick-fil-A into a national conservative cause with “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.”  

 

The group is asking supporters to turn out in droves at gun stores, gun counters, gun shows, and gun ranges to protest what they see as government overreach in the wake of the Sandy Hook elementary school shootings.
