PORTSMOUTH, Va. — Portsmouth is the latest city in Hampton Roads to pass legislation to be recognized as a Second Amendment city, but it’s not the vote that has some people upset.
Some community members are angry after Councilman Nathan Clark showed up to the Tuesday night meeting carrying a rifle.
Clark told News 3 he was carrying a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 rifle at the Portsmouth City Hall meeting, where gun rights where discussed.
The firearm was on a strap hanging from his body. The image sparked outrage online.
Community activist Barry Randall says he was disgusted.
“You wouldn’t walk into 7-Eleven with an assault weapon. He wouldn’t walk into the library with an assault weapon, so why would you walk into the council chambers?" questioned Randall.
