In The Times Aug. 12-13 issue on page 6A, the headline of an article by Sudhin Thanawala of the Associated Press stated that the Music Midtown festival was canceled over gun rights. If you read the article, you can see that is an assumption presented by the news outlets as the presenter Live Nation actually did not say why they canceled the festival.
