It is January 19, 2013 and declared Gun Appreciation Day, with Second Amendment supporters visiting their local gun stores and showing support for the right to bear arms guaranteed under our constitutional Second Amendment rights.
There are also rallies being held across the country by Guns Across America.
Photos are starting to come out, so this post will be updated throughout the day with them.

@iSheeple1 didn't catch pictures, but described the scene in Boston.
#GunAppreciationDay Just got back from Beacon Hill. About 1500 protesters at the Capitol in Boston. Lots of banners and flags. #TGDN
