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 |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
