The mayor of the City of Greensboro, Nancy Vaughan, is trying to get support to stop having gun shows at the Greensboro Coliseum. She did an interview with WFMY news 2, and also WXII, http://www.wxii12.com/article/greensboro-plans-to-cancel-gun-show/19152388 (swipe and paste in address bar) http://www.wfmynews2.com/video/news...uncil-considers-canceling-gun-show/83-8029574 and said that she thought she had enough support from the all democrat city council to get the gun shows stopped. She said that they couldn't change the gun laws but they could stop the shows in the City of Greensboro's Coliseum. ( I thought the coliseum belonged to the citizens of Greensboro and not the City proper).
I think all of us should email all of the city council and voice our opinions and objections. Just a few suggested questions - What will be the economic impact of cancelling the gun shows? What will that cost the city in sales tax and hotel revenue for those of us who will eat at a GSO restaurant and stay overnight in GSO? What will this do for their $4 million shortfall this year? What about the sales tax lost on gun sales that won't be going in the general fund coffers? For all of the City of Greensboro's concerns about economic impact that events in GSO that bring in outside people to spend money in GSO, this doesn't make much $en$e! To email the City Council of GSO, please swipe and paste this link - http://www.greensboro-nc.gov/government/city-council/e-mail-city-council . Please tell them how much money you spend in GSO while you are attending the show - and tell them that this is illegal. Grassroots NC (GRNC) is planning on fight this in court if necessary. Please communicate within the next two weeks - they plan to pass a resolution regarding this on 3/20/18. Let your voice be heard!!!
