Gun Ownership and Country

gun: Plenty of artists avoid the issue because there's a real risk of backlash as gun lobbyists have bolstered a connection between the patriotic themes found in country music to gun ownership in recent years, according to The Japan Times.

The proposal, which she refused, was a commonplace example of how intertwined gun ownership is with country music. ; The mass shooting on the final day of Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas has emboldened some country musicians to call for gun control, even as many others declined to weigh in. I feel like the labels like to keep you that way. They don't want you to say things that would upset country music listeners. They don't want you to speak out. (news.financializer.com).
