NEW YORK — Each night, people in apartments all over New York City are cleaning up, putting out fresh towels and clearing out — to rent their private space to strangers from around the world.

The groups now say they’ll hold the event Dec. 15, the day after the anniversary.

Organizers note that the day after the anniversary is national Bill of Rights Day. They say events in all 50 states will counter expected activism by gun control advocates on the anniversary.

The day is being organized by the Second Amendment Foundation, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, DefendGunRights.com and other organizations. Alan Gottlieb of the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation says it is about defending the right to bear arms.

Twenty first-graders and six educators were killed in the Connecticut massacre.
