Glendale City Council bans gun shows in city [View all]
GLENDALE - The Glendale City Council voted 3-2 tonight to approve an ordinance banning gun shows at city-owned buildings and parks, a move that would evict the Glendale Gun Show from its traditional home at the Glendale Civic Auditorium.
The ordinance is a response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn. that left 20 students and six adult staff members dead, Joal Ryan, a co-founder of the Coalition for a Better Glendale, told Fox11.
The group was founded in the wake of the Dec. 14 shooting to end the gun show, according to its website.
"This is a really local, very specific issue," Ryan told Fox11. "We're not talking about banning guns, We're not talking about taking away guns. It just said... after Sandy Hook, not here, not now. We don't want our city in the gun show business any more."
