National Gun Violence Awareness Day · June 2

someone thought this was just clickbait? no, it was an honest question.

[whatthehey]

1. It's not March 17 so no.

[jberryhill]

4. July 12 - Battle of the Boyne, Or April 30 in Holland

....or a Syracuse home game.

I gather the OP is a sad attempt at clickbait, and we are to wonder why anyone would be wearing orange.

So...

19. aside from the fact that you are wrong according to several reliable online sources, you're a bully

And as you stalk others, some people at Democratic Underground are becoming wise to your tactics, which they will reveal to others. This holiday is celebrated at several times of the year apparently:

These Celebs Are Wearing Orange for National Gun Violence Awareness Day

•June 2, 2016
It started in 2013, with some high school students in Chicago who lost their friend to an act of gun violence: In an effort to honor her memory, the teens began wearing orange, a bold color worn by hunters to protect them from being shot.

Three years later, #WearOrange has spread to across the country, with celebrities — and even the president — getting in on the movement on June 2, National Gun Violence Awareness Day. They wear it to remember gun violence victims and to help spread awareness of the attacks and accidental shootings that afflict Americans every single day. http://en.mediamass.net/people/dick-cheney/deathhoax.html#

24. Thank you.

[yourout]

2. nah...they did not convict me.

[gollygee]

3. I'm volunteering somewhere later where I have to wear a certain color

And I honestly never heard of this before.

Also, I don't like orange and don't own any orange clothing. I wish they'd made it a different color, but I suppose it wouldn't stand out as well.

I will watch for it when I'm at my event later! I wonder if I'll see anyone in orange.

5. I didn't volunteer for this....

[snooper2]

18. Better be wearing orange how do you expect me to see you when you are standing in the street?

[jberryhill]

6. We're all set here for Cat Scurvy Awareness Day (yes, that's actually a thing)

[dembotoz]

7. was alway told cats hate citrus and folks use it to keep cats of furniture

i do anticipate that if i tried that on my jewel i would need to call 911 to stop the bleeding of my shredded arms

[Jeffersons Ghost]

16. LOL! It's "KICK" bait with those funny, orange cat hats!

[Blue_Tires]

8. I'd never even heard of this...

luckily there is some orange trim on my jacket, so that's something I guess...

[dembotoz]

9. in my state orange is the color of hunting...to be visible to other hunters in the woods

check out photos of lambeau field when its really cold out....lots and lots of blaze orange...and those are not packer colors

[barbtries]

11. actually that is where the idea for wearing orange came from

i think it's true everywhere but i'm not a hunter so don't really know

[Eleanors38]

15. I think all states require blaze or hunter orange when hunting public lands...

for deer, hogs, other big game, and non-avian small game. Exceptions are made for ducks, dove and other birds since shots are mainly upwards and with shotguns, and the birds can readily see orange (deer and some other animals don't see in full color, and have trouble picking up orange). Turkey hunting does not require orange as these birds can read serial numbers in any color at 50 yards.

10. I know a few people I would like to see in orange.

Most of them politicians.

[stone space]

12. Yes.

Get Loud! #WearOrange.

In 2013, teens on the southside of Chicago started to wear orange to honor a friend shot and killed in a park near their school. Three years later, what started in their high school has become a national movement. Join us on June 2nd and #WearOrange to show your support for a country free from gun violence!
