Gun show ban proposed for Santa Clara County fairgrounds [California]
The Mercury News ^ | March 4, 2018 | John Woolfolk

Posted on 03/04/2018 6:20:37 PM PST by Lonely Bull

Amid heightened concerns about firearms in the wake of last month’s Parkland, Florida, high school shooting massacre, Santa Clara County officials are taking another look at banning gun shows from the county fairgrounds.

The Santa Clara County Fairgrounds currently hosts two gun shows a year. But county Supervisor Ken Yeager said gun shows conflict with the county’s mission of “promoting the health and well-being of our residents” and have drawn complaints from residents.

“More and more often, I am getting approached by people who tell me how disturbed they are when they see billboards or signs advertising gun shows at the fairgrounds,” Yeager said. “That is not a use they want to see at one of our most prominent public spaces.”

The board of supervisors is expected to consider Yeager’s proposal March 6.

I'm sorry ma'am ... what do you mean by "you are disturbed" ?

Perhaps we can straighten this whole thing out for you.

Mentally, of course. Liberalism is a contagious mental disease.

If they have a problem, do they call a “gun free” police department?

I have always seen reports of similar statements with no follow up.

I've received complaints ....

About what ?

And by whom ?

Commentator: "So, did you see people being murdered and raped?"

Reporter: "No, but that's what we are reporting."

She's disturbed. Report her to the police department. Perhaps another shooter smoldering. I'm sure she'll enjoying the attention.

Well at least we got WWII and the Cold War done because if anyone wants to now, half the country says “kill me/kill my country”.

I remember this, the Journal News, near my old stomping grounds published the names and addresses of licensed gun owners around the Lower Hudson Valley. Turnabout’s fair play, The Journal News main offices are conveniently located at 2 Crosfield Rd W Nyack, NY. Take the Palisades Pkwy to exit 8E, east on Rt 59 approx 1 mile then right onto Crosfield. The journal News office building is the first on the left, up a slIght hill.The editor’s house is in Mamaroneck, near the entrance to the Winged Foot CC, between the NE Thruway and Hutchinson River Pkwy. ****The preceding is FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!*

Those gun shows put a LOT of money into the city’s coffers.

I don’t suppose that the complainers are also offering to make up the difference out of their own pockets.
