During a meeting Tuesday, Memphis City Council members passed an amendment adding a "trigger" to an ordinance that includes a series of gun control measures approved by voters in the 2024 election. Members also voted to enter the election results into the permanent council record. According to the Tri-State Defender, the resolution acknowledges that current state law nullifies the ordinance but includes language allowing it to take effect if the open-carry law is changed in the future.
