I heard this about guns in the restaurant last night


I completely forgot to post this when we got home last night.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - The first large gun show in Knoxville since the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre is being held this weekend.

A gunman killed 20 children and six adults at the Connecticut school on December 14th. Since the shooting, gun control has been the topic of debate for some local lawmakers and community members. The uncertain future of gun laws had many people at Saturday's event making a gun purchase.
