Don Sparks, the owner of The Quest, expressed his concern over gun violence, stating, 'You can buy a gun and carry it, but you can't buy a pack of cigarettes.' He contends loose gun laws should be blamed, not the establishment, for the incidents. His resolve to keep the club open remains strong despite the Birmingham City Council's decision to revoke its licenses following a double homicide.
The Birmingham police have had repeated interactions with The Quest, responding 109 times in the past year alone, including multiple serious incidents involving gun violence. Sgt. Kenneth Knight noted that in less than three years, there have been several significant events, including shootings and an officer being shot, which has raised serious concerns about the safety at this establishment.
