MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Mayor Lee Harris said Friday that next week’s Shelby County Commission agenda is a whopper. So, he thought he’d talk to reporters about.

Snip

“I mean bayonets,” he said, “... weaponized aircraft, grenade launchers, weapons that require a 50-caliber round or higher.”

There are a total of a dozen weapons on the list.

“We all know you don’t need a grenade launcher to keep residents safe in Shelby County."

Holy fking shit! For this Democratic leader to propose banning these weapons of war, someone must be discussing a purchase. Just a guess on my part. Grenade launchers & weaponized aircraft?

1. I can imagine the lax accountability of this weaponry.

And, the ammo too.

2. Horrifying concept, imo

Violent crime in Memphis area is off the charts, even pre-covid. Like #1 in the nation, last I saw.

But they do not need this stuff. 😳

3. Might be trying to get out ahead of some sick agenda shitbag gov has planned!

Would not surprise me one bit if gov lee tried this crap.
