The number of guns taken off local streets in 2016 could reach last year’s total of nearly 4,200, according to Memphis police. Illegal weapons contributed to some of this year’s 101 murders and put the lives of officers in danger seemingly every day. Many of those weapons are stolen from cars, and MPD Director Mike Rallings said it is the result of a state law that allows gun owners to keep weapons in a vehicle. “I want to sit down and have a conversation with them, with our other law enforcement partners, and talk about that,” Rallings told FOX13. “So yes, I want a change because I am not in support of guns in cars.”

| I was going to make the same comment. Half of businesses and restaurants, and most banks in Texas ban lawful concealed carry. If one were to follow the law he would have to leave his gun in the car half of the time. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
