Bill to remove permitless carry legislation in Nashville, Memphis fails

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A bill to remove permitless carry legislation in Nashville and Memphis has failed to pass at the Tennessee State Capitol.

“Bodies are dropping left and right every day,” said Senator London Lamar (D), representing District 33 in Memphis. “I’m sick of hearing gunshots in my neighborhood.”

Lawmakers leading the effort said it was a way to address the “out of control” gun violence in Tennessee’s urban communities and would reinstate the previous carry regulations. Senator Lamar said the previous legislation had stricter regulations, background checks and gun safety education.

Does this idiot really believe that by changing the law back to needing a permit to carry is going to have any effect at all?
The thugs and hood rats in her district weren't going down and undergoing background checks or taking the required safety class to begin with, what makes her think they would if the law was changed?
