Most people we know aren’t adverse to reasonable gun control laws. There is nothing wrong with trying to keep innocent people safe while giving people access to firearms.

It’s with that in mind that we underscore that June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about gun violence and its impact, and to promote gun safety and prevention. It’s also a time to honor victims and survivors of gun violence. The month is often marked by events and campaigns, such as “Wear Orange” to show support for ending gun violence. 

Here’s a general breakdown:

• Awareness: 
The primary goal is to educate the public about the prevalence and impact of gun violence. 









Prevention:

• Emphasis is placed on safe firearm storage, responsible gun ownership, and community-based solutions to reduce gun violence. 

Honoring Victims and Survivors:
