Kristin Hall, entertainment producer/writer, Nashville, noticed that the NRA planned to auction off firearms during a fundraiser at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, but she knew that the museum didn’t allow weapons inside. So she reached out to the museum, the NRA, country artists and more for comment. Soon after Hall raised the question of the apparent violation of museum policy, a spokesperson confirmed to her that the April event will not take place at the site. Other news outlets had to cite AP’s reporting. https://bit.ly/2vSOAbz
