City Council Invites Greensboro Residents To Comment On Guns April 3

The City of Greensboro is asking residents to bring their views on guns to a meeting next month.

In an email, the Greensboro City Council asked residents who want to share their “thoughts, opinions and concerns” about guns to attend the April 3rd meeting.

The council notes that this week's Tuesday meeting is for official city business items only.

This invitation comes against the backdrop of a national conversation on gun rights and restrictions led largely by teenagers in a backlash to the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Fla.

It also arrives amidst local drama, as some residents are questioning whether the city should continue to allow gun shows at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex. The city attorney said they could not cancel a show scheduled for August without breaking the law.

The April 3rd meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the City Council Chamber downtown.
