On November 17, 2024, Brent Taylor, a Tennessee Senator for Shelby County, issued an official comment on the lawsuit that was filed by Tennessee Firearms Association, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation and Ty Timmermann against the City of Memphis.
In his letter, Senator Taylor, who is also a member of the Tennessee Senate Judiciary committee, stated “[t]his suit is the natural result of the Memphis City Council choosing to mislead the public and defraud Memphians into thinking the city had authority to implement gun control.”
In comments issued to Memphis’ local news outlets, he has made clear that he opposes disarming citizens when the City of Memphis is not serious about dealing with its criminal population:
Senator Taylor’s supportive letter to the Tennessee Firearms Association:
If you are interested in helping fight these clearly illegal and unconstitutional acts by the City of Memphis, and it’s leadership, you can do so by:
- joining TFA as a member (or renewing your membership) if you are not already a member. This would be particularly important if you live in or travel to Memphis and you would want to be considered as a representative plaintiff.
- if you are already a member of TFA, you can support this effort with a financial contribution that would help fund the litigation efforts.
- You can also make a tax deductible donation to the Tennessee Firearms Foundation (a 501c3 charity) which has increasingly engaged in or supported public interest litigation on matters such as this.
