(Photo: Everytown)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>June 2, 2015, will be the first annual \u201cNational Gun Violence Awareness Day,\u201d according to Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun-control organization funded by billionaire business magnate Michael Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>Everytown is asking everyone to \u201cwear orange\u201d to honor the \u201c88 Americans whose lives are cut short by gun violence every day &#8212; and the countless survivors whose lives are forever altered by shootings each year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The inspiration for the idea came from classmates of Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old high school student who was fatally shot in Chicago on Jan. 29 by known gang member, Michael Ward, who targeted a random crowd in Harsh Park after a rival gang killed one of his peers.<\/p>\n<p>Ward told police according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnainfo.com\/chicago\/20130212\/kenwood\/hadiya-pendletons-alleged-killers-ordered-held-without-bond\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"everytown-wear-orange-on-june-2-to-celebrate-national-gun-violence-awareness-day\" title=\"Everytown: \u2018Wear Orange on June 2 to Celebrate National Gun Violence Awareness Day\u2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DNAinfo<\/a> that Pendleton had nothing to do with the gang rivalry, rather \u201cShe was just there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we keep standing for this, we are going to be some straight bitches,&#8221; Ward allegedly told police after his arrest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It hurt,\u201d he said of his friend who was killed. \u201cIt hurt to a point where everyone had to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Given these facts, one would think that the color orange is either meant to send a message to the prison inmates responsible for the vast majority of gun-related violence or a warning that if you take innocent lives, you\u2019ll end up in prison \u2014 but no, it was chosen \u201cbecause hunters wear orange to announce themselves to other hunters when out in the woods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doesn\u2019t make much sense, does it? Why call out hunters who are overwhelmingly safe and responsible? I mean, unless Everytown is worried about deer, turkey, waterfowl and other commonly hunted animals, the idea makes zero sense. \u00a0Once again, the group is targeting the wrong group of people, i.e. law-abiding citizens. \u00a0Instead, it should be focusing on inner-city gangs and drug dealers.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, First Lady Michelle Obama will be there to deliver a speech for attendees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our daughter Hadiya was a beautiful girl who was full of laughter and had her whole life ahead of her,&#8221; reflected her mother, Cleopatra Pendleton. &#8220;Too many Americans are dying every day from senseless acts of gun violence and it has to stop. We don&#8217;t want other parents to endure the pain and suffering our family has these past few years. We are honored to know that so many Americans will join us and Wear Orange on June 2nd to celebrate Hadiya&#8217;s life and the lives of all those taken by gun violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other headliners at the event will include actress Julianne Moore, comedian Sarah Silverman and R.E.M frontman Michael Stipe.<\/p>\n<p>More about the importance of wearing orange:<\/p>\n<p><em>Originating in hunting culture, orange acknowledges that America has a proud heritage of responsible gun ownership. But orange also reflects the value of human life. When hunting in the woods, it\u2019s expected you\u2019ll take aim at a deer or bird \u2013 but you\u2019re also obligated to take care with your life and the lives of fellow hunters. By wearing orange on June 2nd, Americans will pledge to:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u25cf Honor the lives \u2013 and lost human potential \u2013 of Americans stolen by gun violence<\/em><br \/>\n<em> \u25cf Do all we can to keep firearms out of the wrong hands<\/em><br \/>\n<em> \u25cf Be responsible gun owners and keep our children safe<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, that\u2019s \u201cNational Gun Violence Awareness Day.\u201d What are your thoughts on it?
