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.

Well there is a Clockwork Orange
and the perps sentenced to clean up the freeways wear Orange.
What about people violence?
Remember that CBS Viacom had The Dukes of Hazzard removed from CMT because of the Confederate flag on the General Lee combined with that nutball’s rampage in Charleston.
Country Music is on Television ?
LOL....LOL..Those nasty guns are at it again.....
In Alaska, nobody even wears orange when hunting.
I love a good suicide, this should be good!
My thoughts also.
Hunters wear blaze orange, while in the field, hunting. So they don’t shoot each other. Only their food.
Simply disarming democrat supporters would go nearly the whole way in alleviating America’s gun violence.
“CMT just pissed off its core of viewers.”
There’s a good chance that happened a few years ago when people like Taylor Swift and that group of loonies went woke.
Helped the Dixie Chicks.../s
No, it's an entirely astroturf operation conceived and funded by Bloomberg including the web sites - whose registration information was left unprotected and visible in the early stages.
All the 'moms' and 'mayors' are paid actors even if they happen to be actual moms and mayors.
“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.”
Wouldn’t work! Domestication takes centuries of breeding. The issue with guns is that they are evolving too fast. By the time we manage to breed a nice docile musket the guns in the wild will be rotary heat seeking plasma cannons and we will not stand a chance.
I wasn’t hunting.
I was just committing gun violence in the woods.
It only takes one or two insane management decisions or Mis-uses of corporate resources to destroy a successful business. We have just de- programmed CMT
Like when The Nashville Network became The National Network - just another channel full of reruns.
They should get rappers to wear orange on National Gun Violence Day in Chicago.
Oh yeah. Forgot about the Dixie Chicks. May they RIP.
The only time I wear orange is on St. Patrick’s Day.
