The Virginia city of Roanoke banned guns from municipal buildings, parks and other property Monday – including a major regional event venue that hosts multiple gun shows each year.
The Democrat-controlled council voted 6-1 in favor of the ban.
The Berglund Center, which normally hosts multiple gun shows a year, in addition to other big events, will still be allowed to host firearms expos that have already been contracted, according to the Roanoke Times, but the ban otherwise goes into effect immediately.
Only Councilwoman Stephanie Moon-Reynolds, who was elected as an independent after failing to secure a Democratic nomination last year, voted against it. She told the paper that her objection was over the ban including the city s parks.
