The Knoxville City Council will be addressing item 12-a on the current agenda (http://www.ci.knoxville.tn.us/citycouncil/agenda.pdf). This is an ordinance to amend Section 20-60 of the Knoxville City Code to allow citizens possession of firearms or weapons within City parks. The City Council meeting will be held Tuesday, August 25 at 7:00 P.M. at the City County Building (400 Main St. Knoxville, TN 37902). Whether you live, work, or visit Knoxville, calling and e-mailing all council members with your concerns of support for item 12-a will help regain some of our liberty and equip ourselves to better protect ourselves, our families, and our friends; however, It is critical that if you support the Second Amendment that you attend the meeting. A head count will likely be taken of attendees who are supportive of the proposed ordinance as was done at previous meetings concerning this subject. If this measure is passed, it is quite likely that to ban guns again in Knoxville will require an alteration of Tennessee State Law which will prevent the City of Knoxville from disregarding the Second Amendment by merely voting so. Supporting this ordinance will also be witnessed by Knox County officials. Many times the County and City amend their laws to match each other, and if Knoxville repeals its ban on weapons in parks, it will give support to the preservation of the Second Amendment in the county as well.
