Old Dominion alluded to mass shootings in their ACM Awards acceptance speech, a rare allusion to gun violence by a country artist during a live broadcast
by paying tribute to the victims of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville in March. “I pray — deeply — that closeness and community we feel for the next few hours of music can soon turn into action,” Ballerini said. “Like real action, that moves us forward together to create change for the safety of our kids and our loved ones.”
Following the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, some country personalities, who are typically shy about wading into such issues, called for gun reform. “I used to say ‘proud gun owner’; I’m not a proud gun owner. I’m not a proud car driver. I’m just a ‘gun owner’ and a ‘car driver’ because those are normal parts of my life.
, adding that if everyone has the right to own a gun, everyone should also have access to healthcare. “How about providing some free mental health if everybody gets a gun?”
