Firearms owners, advocacy groups head to ranges, gun shops for 'appreciation day'

Excerpt:

Organizers are encouraging gun-rights supporters to "send a message" to President Obama two days before his second inauguration by "lining up around the block" at gun shops, ranges and shows with a copy of the Constitution, U.S. flags and a "Hands off my Guns" signs. "We're just supporting the second amendment," John Kenney, who went to Clark Brothers Guns, in Warrington, Va. , said.   Kenny said he visited the shop-shooting range in part to try to reverse recent efforts to make gun ownership "look ugly," instead showing Americans owning a firearm is "a fabulous thing." The president on Wednesday announced his gun-control plan that includes enacting a new and stronger assault-weapons ban, limiting magazines to 10 rounds and extending mental health treatment to young Americans. His plan follows the Dec. 14 shootings inside a Connecticut elementary school in which 20 first-graders and six adults were killed.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
