There is no other way to say this: The N.R.A.

funds domestic terrorism, she wrote.

I encourage more artists in country and American roots music to end your silence.

It is no longer enough to separate yourself quietly.

The laws the N.R.A.

would pass are a threat to you, your fans, and to the concerts and festivals we enjoy.

I know youll be bullied for speaking out, she wrote.

This is how they operate.

Not everyone will like you for taking a stand.

Let it roll off your back.

Some people may burn your records or ask for refunds for tickets to your concerts.

Find the strength of moral conviction, even if it comes with a price tag, which it will.

Dont let them bully you into silence.

She concluded, Patriotism and a belief in strong gun control are not antithetical.

In unity, we can drown out the bullies.
