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.

Regarding your Orange campaign…
As a country music loving, gun-owning Alabamian and honest, law-abiding citizen who believes all people are equal and lover of the US Constitution, I’ve just removed your CMT channel from all my cable tv line ups.
Go woke, go broke.
You’ve lost my $$$ forever.
I'll probably get a ton more spam mail, but we've all GOT to PUSH BACK!
SHOW ME THOSE “STATISTICS”.....NOW
And the rest are gang related.

Good for you! Too few are doing this! I was just sending mine too. Until we get off our asses and make an effort to let it be known nothing is going to change.
Dixie Chicks? Are they related to the Dixie Cups?
As long as it’s orange jail uniforms I’m good with this.
wear RED for buy ammo friday!
Wow, they really don’t know their audience.
A direct result of corporations hiring SJWs into their marketing department.
I’d say they just shot themselves in the foot, but that seems in conflict with their position.
Yep - always pay attention to the language, the exact words they use. It is always an unscrupulous and highly unethical way to frame an argument.
(For example) “Women’s Health Care” sounds pretty benign at worst, how could anybody be against that? And if that’s what it was actually about, maybe they’d have a point.
Harvesting baby parts for resale, that’s what they are really talking about.
Please see #64, it actually comes from the very top it’s self.
I remember back when country music WAS country music......
Let hypocritical Viacom/CBS executives and staff give up their armed security both in the offices and when they're filming at locations.
Have they reached the rap music audience? Seems the rappers and fans need to be woke to gun violence.
And Clemson.
The sad part is that these woke anti freedom leftists this k they are Bing patriotic and brave and are sacrificing for ‘the greater good when they alienate their core fans and ‘sacrifice sales’.
They are woefully misguided!
I thought they lost most of their core viewers back when they pulled Roseanne reruns... showed their colors the
Friggin idiots!
