Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett (R) refused to approve a gun control ballot on Monday that the Memphis City Council put forward.
On July 24, 2024, Breitbart News reported that the Memphis City Council approved a referendum to allow city residents to choose to implement a citywide “assault weapon” ban, a prohibition on constitutional carry, and a red flag law, among other gun controls.
WREG reported that the approval of the referendum meant that the gun controls were intended to be on the ballot on November 5, and those controls, if passed, would be added as amendments to the city charter.
The gun controls included:
- No person shall be allowed to carry a handgun in the City of Memphis without possessing a valid handgun carry permit.
- No person shall be allowed to carry, store, or travel with a handgun in a vehicle in the City of Memphis without possessing a valid handgun permit.
- It shall be unlawful for a person to store a firearm, whether loaded or unloaded, or firearm ammunition, in a motor vehicle or boat while the person is not in the motor vehicle or boat unless the firearm or firearm ammunition is kept from ordinary observation and locked within the trunk, utility or glove box, or a locked container securely affixed to the motor vehicle or boat.
- The citizens of Memphis hereby find and declare that the proliferation and use of assault weapons pose a threat to the health, safety, and security of all citizens of Memphis.
- Hereafter, it shall be unlawful and prohibited for a person to possess or carry, openly or concealed, any assault rifles in the City of Memphis. Persons with valid handgun permits are exempt from this restriction when possessing or carrying an assault rifle on their privately owned property or at a shooting range.
- Hereafter, the commercial sale of assault rifles within the City of Memphis is unlawful and is hereby prohibited.
