Harry Styles Rocks Anti-Gun Violence Stickers On His Guitar In Dallas
By James Dinh

Harry Styles made a big statement on Tuesday (June 5) when the former One Direction bandmate paraded around his show in Dallas, Texas with anti-gun stickers on his guitar and his fans were entirely on board with the sentiment.
In a bright pink suit, the 24-year-old star could be seen with two anti-gun stickers on the front of his guitar and he made sure to let all of his social media followers know of his mindset on the controversial issue. Just a day later, he took to his channels to share a photo from the show and, low and behold, the shot focuses entirely on the decorations on the guitar. In fact, he went one step further and cropped his face out of the photo, so that his message could be read loud and clear.
Styles' bold statement follows his endorsement of the March For Our Lives petition, which he signed in March. He was among the many celebrities that jumped onto the movement, including fellow pop stars like Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande and more. March for Our Lives started as a response to the February mass shooting that took 17 lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland after a former student opened fire. In addition to the march, the students created a petition asking elected officials to pass a law to ban the sale of assault weapons, prohibit the sale of high-capacity magazines and close loopholes in background checks that allow "dangerous people who shouldn't be allowed to purchase firearms to slip through the cracks."

Every Harry Styles concert is like a mini pride and now he’s promoting gun control, he’s using his platform to its full potential and that’s 100% awesome and hopefully inspiring to other celebrities with similar platforms, there’s always more you can do. Be More Harry.
