If You Saw a Celebrity Wearing One of These Bracelets at Oscars, They Were Making a Subtle Anti-Gun Statement

"A moving tribute to one of the thousands of Americans affected by gun violence every year."

If you were one of the millions of people to watch the 88th Annual Academy Awards Sunday, you may have noticed some celebrities trying to make a very subtle, albeit very strong, anti-gun statement.

The likes of Steve Carell, Adam McKay, Bryan Cranston and Patricia Arquette were among the attendees wearing bracelets with "#Enough" inscribed on it, a reference to the number of Americans killed by gun violence each year.

The bracelets were distributed as part of a partnership between the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the jewelry company MyIntent, according to Mic.

"Each bracelet is a moving tribute to one of the thousands of Americans affected by gun violence every year, and bears the initials and age of [a gun violence] victim," the Brady campaign said in a statement.

"When celebrities are asked, 'Who are you wearing?' on the red carpet this Oscars weekend, they can say they're wearing a moving tribute to one of the thousands of Americans affected by gun violence every year," the Brady statement added.
