Hoplophobes on parade and hijacking Hunter Orange
The gun grabbing hoplophobes have declared June 2nd "National Gun Violence Awareness Day." They're encouraging supporters to don Hunter Orange apparel to show support for the cause.
Every Town for Gun Safety, an organization dedicated to more gun control is a sponsor of this event and is hoping that orange will rule the day.
I for one, will definately not be wearing orange and will be encouraging my friends and family to wear pro gun attire. I intend to have on my NRA Benefactor Member ball cap and my NRA Supports Law Enforcement tee shirt. I'll also have on one of my S&W belt buckles and will be packing, concealed of course.
I urge you all to get the word out on social media, lets make sure on June 2nd our pro gun support is clear to see.

If you must wear orange, wear CLEMSON orange.

I'll be wearin' my NRA cap and packin' my 1911. and I'll be wearin' a T-shirt with this pic on it. Nothin' says determination like the slide locked back on an empty chamber of a pistol in the firm grip of a skeletal hand.

If you watch the video from the website, Wear Orange | National Gun Violence Awareness Day it's apparent that the couple narrating have lost a daughter.
And for that my heart goes out to them.
But what is always left out in the "ban the guns" drumbeat is the backstory of the culture of violence, drugs and breakdown of family units that have led big cities with the most restrictive gun laws to have the highest rates of shootings.
Take a look at theses statistics on shootings and homicides.
Chicago Isn’t Even Close to Being the Gun Violence Capital of the United States
Most have had Democratic political rule for decades. Most have had high crime and racial unrest for just as long. They have been in charge for generations and still the violence rises higher and the meaningless marches continue.
I am TRULY sorry for the death of ANY innocent child but when the misguided (and they are truly misguided) look at legal gun owners and think that's the root of the problem, they will forever be ... lost.

I doubt I will see any orange around here that day.
Maybe if I went to Missoula, Montana's liberal city. It is also the one with the most violent crime. I wonder why I see that combination come together so often?

This is like.....
"Mayors against gun violence". Do know know ANYBODY in their right mind who is FOR gun violence?
I just ordered a custom T shirt. It won't be here by the 2nd, but it says
Gun Safety
Awareness Day
(Learn what the hell
you are doing)
On the back it says:
Who in their right mind is
FOR
gun violence?
I will wear it proudly.

National Gun Violence Awareness Day? Really?
Frankly, this seems to be getting more attention on this forum than it's getting nationwide.
I haven't seen anything on any national news media site about it.
I haven't seen anything about it on any of my local news sites and/or print media. It might be different where you live, I don't know. I don't see/hear anyone around where I live talking about it or making plans for it or anything else.
The "Wear Orange" people have apparently had this day for several years now. I see writeups on it going back to at least 2014. It really doesn't generate all that much interest/participation except for what are basically fringe groups of the anti-gun crowd. There aren't going to be millions of rabid moms-against-guns type people marching and protesting all over the country. I'll be surprised if there's any sort of significant turnout in the nation's capital or other large metropolitan areas.
They don't even say they're going to be wearing "hunter orange". They just say orange.
If I remember right, some sort of anti-gun group of moms tried some sort of protest here a few years ago. It lasted about two hours in front of a grocery store or something, then just petered out. It was a sixty-second blip on local news channels. Haven't heard a peep from them since.
It's a one-day thing. It'll be yesterday's news on June 3. It's much ado about nothing.

Maybe you missed this... Particularly 2-(B) of the resolution.
115th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. RES. 361
Supporting the goals and ideals of “National Gun Violence Awareness Day” and “National Gun Violence Awareness Month”.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
May 25, 2017
Ms. Kelly of Illinois (for herself, Mr. Thompson of California, Mr. Gutiérrez, Mr. Foster, Mr. Rush, Ms. Fudge, Mr. Blumenauer, Mr. Schneider, Ms. Sewell of Alabama, Mr. Beyer, Mr. Raskin, Ms. Clark of Massachusetts, Ms. DeGette, Mrs. Torres, Mr. Payne, Ms. Plaskett, Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. Watson Coleman, Mr. Thompson of Mississippi, Ms. Moore, Mr. Danny K. Davis of Illinois, Mrs. Demings, Mr. Langevin, Mr. Khanna, Ms. Barragán, Mr. Cleaver, Mr. Richmond, and Mr. Clay) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of “National Gun Violence Awareness Day” and “National Gun Violence Awareness Month”.
Whereas each year, more than—
(1) 32,000 people in the United States are killed and 80,000 are injured by gunfire;
(2) 11,000 people in the United States are killed in homicides involving firearms;
(3) 21,000 people in the United States commit suicide by using firearms; and
(4) 500 people in the United States are killed in accidental shootings;
Whereas since 1968, more people of the United States have died from guns in the United States than have on the battlefields of all the wars in U.S. history;
Whereas by one count in 2016, in the United States there were—
(1) 384 mass shooting incidents in which not fewer than four people were killed or wounded by gunfire; and
(2) 48 incidents in which a gun was fired in a school;
Whereas gun violence typically escalates during the summer months;
Whereas every 70 minutes one person in the United States under the age of 25 dies because of gun violence;
Whereas more than 6,300 of such persons die annually, including Hadiya Pendleton, who, in 2013, at age 15 was killed while standing in a Chicago park;
Whereas, on June 2, 2017, on what would have been Hadiya Pendleton’s 20th birthday, people across the United States will recognize “National Gun Violence Awareness Day” and wear orange in tribute to Hadiya, other victims of gun violence, and their loved ones; and
Whereas June 2017 would be an appropriate month to designate as “National Gun Violence Awareness Month”: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports—
(A) the goals and ideals of “National Gun Violence Awareness Month”; and
(B) the goals and ideals of “National Gun Violence Awareness Day” in remembrance of the victims of gun violence; and
(2) calls on the people of the United States to—
(A) promote greater awareness of gun violence and gun safety;
(B) wear orange, the color that hunters wear to show they are not targets, on “National Gun Violence Awareness Day”;
(C) concentrate heightened attention on gun violence during the summer months, when gun violence typically increases; and
(D) bring citizens and community leaders together to discuss ways to make communities safer.

They'd get more support around here if they moved the wear orange day to a Saturday in November.

Well, no, I haven't really "missed" anything, mainly because I don't sit around all day reading government websites or the Congressional Record.
But you know what? I couldn't care less if they use the words "Hunter Orange" or "Orange" or whatever other term. They can talk about and/or wear pink and purple polka dots for all I care.
And so what if the House has passed a resolution supporting "National Gun Violence Awareness Day” and “National Gun Violence Awareness Month”. A resolution is not a law. It isn't even an ordinance. The only legal weight it carries is that it designates a day or a month as something to be "observed" by those who choose to observe it. It isn't going to be a national holiday. Businesses won't close. You'll still get your mail. Banks will remain open. So what if they designate a certain day as National Anti-Gun Violence Day or whatever? There are so many irrelevant "National Days of this-and-that-and-the-other" already, I've lost count of them.
You'll note, also, that this resolution hasn't even made it out of committee. Hasn't even gone to the Senate. Hasn't been voted on by the whole Congress. Hasn't made it to the president's desk.
I won't even go into some of the ambiguity of the resolution's language or the total lack of documentation for the statistics that are quoted in a government document.
The resolution is meaningless, just totally irrelevant. In short...it's baloney.

I haven't seen anything on any national news media site about it.
I haven't seen anything about it on any of my local news sites and/or print media. It might be different where you live, I don't know. I don't see/hear anyone around where I live talking about it or making plans for it or anything else.
The "Wear Orange" people have apparently had this day for several years now. I see writeups on it going back to at least 2014. It really doesn't generate all that much interest/participation except for what are basically fringe groups of the anti-gun crowd. There aren't going to be millions of rabid moms-against-guns type people marching and protesting all over the country. I'll be surprised if there's any sort of significant turnout in the nation's capital or other large metropolitan areas.
They don't even say they're going to be wearing "hunter orange". They just say orange.
If I remember right, some sort of anti-gun group of moms tried some sort of protest here a few years ago. It lasted about two hours in front of a grocery store or something, then just petered out. It was a sixty-second blip on local news channels. Haven't heard a peep from them since.
It's a one-day thing. It'll be yesterday's news on June 3. It's much ado about nothing.

I'm pretty sure they'll burn a car and break a few windows somewhere!!!

I for one, will definately not be wearing orange and will be encouraging my friends and family to wear pro gun attire. I intend to have on my NRA Benefactor Member ball cap and my NRA Supports Law Enforcement tee shirt. I'll also have on one of my S&W belt buckles and will be packing, concealed of course.
I urge you all to get the word out on social media, lets make sure on June 2nd our pro gun support is clear to see.

I work for Home Depot just now, and have to wear an orange apron on the job. But THANKFULLY, I am not working on June 2nd. My "uniform" on that day will be my gym warmups-and t-shirt--both dark blue.

Well, if they do, be sure and let us know, so we can all read about it.

I can't imagine they would be welcome anywhere in this area.

I'll be out here at the rig wearing work clothes away from proper civilization on the second. But my heart will be with all you sporting your cool shirts and hats and packing heat.

Some tidbits to keep in mind:
1. The purpose for the written word is to communicate.
2. An integral part of communicating is clarity.
3. Neither body language nor inflection is present in written words.
4. Short words are usually better - clearer - than long words.
5. Anglo-Saxon words are usually better - clearer and more forceful - than words based on foreign languages.
6. Modifier words are usually unnecessary, tending to reduce the intent of the word modified, e.g. He was brutally murdered.
***
7. Lawyers, bureaucrats, and politicians use "flexible" grammar and punctuation to earn a living.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

They should call it Fascist Fruitcake Day.

I have a Knight's Armament Tshirt with an evil black rifle on it. Other than that this is my only gun related apparel... It doesn't look this nice anymore.
