The audience will get a true sense of Linda's dedication to gun safety and ending the epidemic of senseless and preventable gun violence in our country. Linda has turned the ultimate tragedy of the loss of a child into a call for action. Linda believes in celebrating Scott's life, not mourning his death. Ending the epidemic of gun violence is twofold; legislation and education. Linda does this through both her legislative efforts in the passing of landmark gun safety legislation and through education with the Scott J Beigel Memorial Fund. It was once said that someone who saves a child, saves the world. Linda's goal is to save as many children as possible to make the world a better place. People should listen because senseless and preventable gun violence can only be eradicated with the community and national effort. We need the help of your listeners to support the cause of ending gun violence in this country. As Linda has said, "We all have the right to be safe" "We all have the right to live without fear"
Linda Beigel Schulman is the mother of Scott J. Beigel, the geography teacher and cross-country coach who sacrificed his life while saving the lives of 31 of his students at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in Parkland Florida on February 14, 2018.
Linda lives in Dix Hills, New York. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education from the University of Arizona and her Master’s Degree in Science from Long Island University. Linda is a licensed teacher and has taught in Arizona and abroad.
Linda is a strong and staunch advocate for reasonable gun safety legislation on both a State and Federal level. Linda has chosen to turn the senseless murder of her son into her life’s mission on multiple levels.
Linda was instrumental in the passage of the “Red Flag Law” in Florida right after the killing of her son Scott. Within weeks of Scott’s murder, Linda flew to Tallahassee to speak before both the Florida Senate Appropriations Committee and the Florida House Appropriations Committee. Linda has also met with various Florida state legislators to help ensure the passage of Florida's Flag Law.
In March of 2020, the Town of Huntington, New York recognized Linda as a Woman of Distinction for her dedication and work on behalf of the Scott J Beigel Memorial Fund.
In 2021, the New York State Senate and Assembly passed the “Scott J Beigel Untraceable Receiver Act” which was signed into law by Gov. Hochulon on October 28, 2021. The law will ban the possession, manufacture, or sale of “Ghost Guns”. A Ghost Gun is a Do It Yourself firearm that can be purchased online, assembled in less than an hour, and does not have a serial number, thereby making it untraceable.
