Tennessee: "Exchange gun for event tickets"

[cuchulainn]

Does anyone else see the irony of hold a seminar to educate people about "anti-gun legislation" (aka anti-Bill of Rights) in a civil rights museum? You Vols should create some handouts based on Jim March's stuff and stand outside the event.

Exchange gun for event tickets

Done with Guns is a new program that kicked off in Memphis today.

Organizers hope it can reduce the growing number of shootings and other violent crimes.

Myron Lowery, Memphis City Council said, "We have no way of knowing the exact number that will be turned in but one gun off the street will make a difference."

Councilman Myron Lowery says the program involves the Grizzlies, Soulsville and other companies donating tickets to anyone who turns in a gun.

A seminar is also planned to educate people on everything from gun safety to anti-gun legislation.

The gun program begins April 5th at the Civil Rights Museum.

Bring in one gun and get five sets of tickets from 7 different organizations.
