In June 20th Op/Ed in The Times of Chester County Mike Parrish called for courage, leadership and action on gun violence.
By Mike Parrish, Candidate, U.S. Representative, 6th District
I am a gun owner and proud supporter of our Second Amendment. As an Army veteran who served in Desert Storm, I have extensive training on how to responsibly use, care for, and safely store firearms. I have also seen first hand the damage that guns can do.
In the aftermath of the shocking Orlando shooting by a radical domestic terrorist, the political discourse has been sadly predictable. I believe we are well past the time for thoughts and prayers or moments of silence offered by elected representatives who refuse to take action on the gun crisis because they are hostages to the NRA. Their actions, or lack thereof, are not leadership.
The color orange symbolizes the value of human life. Hunters wear orange in the woods to protect themselves and others. In 2013, teens on the South Side of Chicago asked classmates to honor their murdered friend by wearing orange. That simple call to action has grown into a national movement – and orange is becoming the symbol of gun safety.
Thursday, June 2nd is National Gun Violence Prevention Day http://wearorange.org. People all across the United States will be wearing orange and participating in local events drawing public attention to the need for sensible gun policy.
