MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Gun Owners of America (GOA), along with other organizations filed a lawsuit against the City of Memphis over gun referendums that Memphians voted in favor of during election day. GOA said in a press release that the lawsuit was filed against the city's newly adopted gun control ordinances, "which were passed by voters in direct opposition to the state's robust preemption law." Memphis voters say yes to 3 gun control measures Over 80 percent of Memphis voters voted against permitless carry of firearms, voted to limit the sale of assault-style weapons, and voted for local "red flag" laws, which would allow law enforcement the ability to take firearms from those found to be an imminent danger to themselves or others. “We’re trying to make it to where we don’t have any future sale of automatic weapons, and we regulate the ones that are here,” City Councilman Dr. Jeff Warren said. “So, people that own them keep them locked in their home in a safe. Take them to and from shooting ranges, but don’t walk around the street with them.” 📡 See more breaking news, local news and weather from WREG.com for Memphis and the Mid-South. 📧 Sign up for WREG newsletters and have the latest top stories sent right to your inbox. Despite the overwhelming support, it’s unclear whether the measures will actually result in a local ordinance. The state has the final say in the matter. "Tennessee has one of the strongest preemption laws in the nation, and the very reason it exists is to prevent radical anti-gun cities from enacting the very sort of draconian policies Memphis just 'adopted,'" said Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of GOA. "We are hopeful that Tennessee Courts will quickly block this insubordinate violation of state law."
