Wear orange to take a stand

June 2 is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Gun-violence prevention groups across the nation will be participating in #WearOrange. We can make America safe again by supporting universal background checks, closing Internet and gun-show sales loopholes and promoting safe storage to prevent children accessing firearms. Let’s turn Lexington orange.
