Brumar, from the article:
To show opposition to gun violence, some people, including a few celebrities, are wearing orange–the color that hunters wear to avoid being shot accidentally.
This is so stupid. The problem with guns isn't that people are getting shot accidentally. The problem is that people are getting shot on purpose.

Given that, the last color I would want to wear is something that makes me stand out from the crowd.

[ 60+% of "gun deaths" are suicides. I think Robin Williams hanged himself with a belt, so that was a belt death. Knives, blunt objects, and hands each kill more people than "assault rifles" and "non-assault rifles" combined. ]
Parse the statement all you want, but the fact remains.....60% of gun deaths are suicides.........that would be close to 20,000. Nothing to be concerned about, right?????
