Commissioners in Manheim Township, Pennsylvania are considering a proposal to ban gun stores and even advertisements of firearms within 1,000 feet of any school in the community, and the public had a chance to sound off on the plan at a Monday night meeting.

“What I have heard is a lot about feelings,” said Howard Horn, a township resident who disagrees with the proposal. “If I was a vegan and got a petition because my feelings were hurt when Burger King put images of hamburgers in their window, would you entertain that petition?”
