Gun Appreciation Day

I initially caught this over at MArooned in Massachusetts.

Gun Appreciation Day

January 19, 2013

Check-out their website.

Also, from Jennifer Harper over at the Washington Times:

OK, mark the date, for it will surely spark an outcry in the gun-control community. A coalition of gun rights and conservative groups have declared Jan. 19 to be “Gun Appreciation Day” and are urging Americans nationwide to visit local gun ranges and purveyors to show support for the Second Amendment. Yes, the date falls two days before President Obama’s second inauguration, and yes, organizers say “Gun Appreciation Day” is expected to rival “Chick-fil-A Day” as a public statement of protest against government policies.

Bouncing it off a couple of friends, they rather liked the idea and we're talking of showing-up to do whatever part we can...

Hmm, a show of solidarity. Where have I heard of this before?

I'll be honest that I have mixed feelings. Let's get out there to do every bit we can to be seen and heard; however, I just can't shake that feeling that we need to do far more this time around. I have to agree with one of the commenters over at Jay G's post on Gun Appreciation Day that maybe it's time we use some of the tactics of the other side and get out there in large, unavoidable numbers.

As always:

Be Seen. Be Heard. And Stand Firm.
