Country Music Television – along with other networks – urged many to "wear orange" over the weekend as part of a coordinated stance against gun violence.

"We're (virtually) wearing orange today in support National Gun Violence Awareness Day and to call attention to the more than 100 lives that are lost every day to gun violence," the ViacomCBS-owned entity tweeted Friday ahead of the CMT Music Awards on Wednesday.

The campaign, citing fatal injury reports data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the years 2015 through 2019, claimed that "Every day more than 100 Americans are killed with guns." "Wear Orange" is part of Everytown for Gun Safety's gun control campaign, which is backed by Michael Bloomberg. The effort was met with intense criticism from many on social media.

A lot of corporations are shooting themselves in the foot, lately.

CMT just pissed off its core of viewers. You don’t do that unless you want your business to tank.

With all these guns running around shooting people, the best thing we can probably do is domesticate them; train them to work with humans instead of following their natural patterns of just shooting everything they see.

BS stats. 3/4 of the 100/day are suicide not homicide.

Shouldn’t an orange ribbon be the color to wear in support of the the elected President Trump in 2020?

Obama setout to destroy American unity and politically balkanize us and he succeeded.

With endless, lifestyle political activism, cookies are sexualized and elections have questionable security there may be no going back.

Orange the color of the jumpsuits worn by felons let out of prison through the turnstile system by liberal judges and Soros DAs.

Yup. This would be like BET telling their viewers to wear white in support of the KKK.
