Idea of a ban on gun shows in Tulsa floated

"I would really like to propose that the city of Tulsa become a gun show free city," Elizabeth Arnett said, "and that we go to the fairgrounds committee and we say, 'you know, it's more important for this show not to happen in our city than for the hotels to make money. It's more important to not have this show in our city than to have the restaurants make money."

Arnett added, "we all know there was a gun show two weeks ago, and there's a gun show next week. We seem to be the United States (of) America host city for gun shows. I think we could just really do something powerful there."

What an idiot. Purposely take away money from business and tax revenue for the city. Somebody didn't think that one through.

Who is Ms Arnett? A member of the fairgrounds Committee, a City Council member, or just a random citizen at large?

I gathered she was just an ordinary citizen, but I can't confirm that. In any case, she's an idiot.

Mary V. KING; Gail Steele; Wilma Chan; Keith Carson; Scott Haggerty; County of Alameda; County of Alameda Board of Supervisors, Defendants-Appellees.

AKA: Nordyke vs King

The Board of Supervisors of Alameda County, California had passed Ordinance No. 0-2000-22, codified at General Ordinance Code section 9.12.120, making it a misdemeanor to bring onto or to possess a firearm or ammunition on all County property.[1] Gun show promoters challenged the ordinance.​

January 8th, 2013: After 12 years of litigation, Nordyke v. King is finally over. The ruling did not impact the 2A right. Gun shows may be held on County property provided that the Nordykes' comply with the ordinance by tethering guns to tables like other merchandise at retail stores. The Nordykes' were not awarded prevailing party status by the court and despite petitioning the Supreme Court, fees and costs are not recoverable.​

It looked like an inevitable win after the McDonald vs Chicago case, but the County changed its mind during the final EnBanc hearing and decided to allow firearms on their property before a ruling could be made in our favor(it likely would have gone in our favor). I really don't know if other counties want to get into an expensive decade long legal battle with the likes of SAF/CGF(it would likely take much less time to get a ruling this time around, but you never know). If they do, just point them in the direction of this lawsuit and they will probably change their minds very quickly.

Ms. Arnett,

Tulsa IS the Gun Show capital of America. If you don't like it, Delta's ready when you are.

Sincerely,

Everyone else in Oklahoma.
