NEWTOWN, Conn., Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Jay Leno has canceled an upcoming appearance at a Las Vegas gun show after discovering its organizers were anti-gun control lobbyists based near the site of the Sandy Hook elementary shooting.
Leno was scheduled to host the 2015 Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show, but upon learning it was backed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation -- a Newtown, Conn.-based pro-gun group, similar to the National Rifle Association -- Leno quickly backed out and contacted the parents of victims of the 2012 shooting that killed 26 people.
