January 19th is Gun Appreciation Day

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/01/07/168800569/gun-appreciation-day-is-jan-19-conservative-groups-declare

Saying they're following the example of last year's Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, a coalition of "gun rights" activists announced today that they're calling on like-minded Americans to visit gun stores, gun ranges and gun shows on Jan. 19 in a show of unity they're calling "Gun Appreciation Day."
