Phoenix: Ban gun shows at the Arizona State Fairgrounds

To the Phoenix City Council: Please ban gun shows at the Arizona State Fairgrounds.

In the wake of the tragic shooting at Umpqua Community College, communities around the country are coming together to demand a ban on gun shows at their local fairgrounds and convention centers. Phoenix should do the same.

Why is this important?

Gun shows are practically unregulated in Arizona. I have seen people buying ridiculous military weaponry with no background checks. We need to stop these shows completely.
