Why Memphis?

"Memphis, TN has a population of 630,000, where the largest racial group is Black or African American, making up ~64% of the population, followed by White residents at around 24%. It has a median household income of $48,100 and 22% of residents living below the federal poverty line."

LA, DC, Chicago…Memphis? It’s not about crime, it’s about undermining black mayors, black communities, and representative democracy.

Memphis is a majority-Black city and has a Democratic mayor, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Republican Gov. Bill Lee confirmed Friday that he was working with the Trump administration to deploy National Guard troops to Memphis as part of a new crime-fighting mission.

These are just some of the gun laws the governor has signed in the past few years. In Tennessee he believes the more guns, the better. Maybe that is why Tennessee is ranked 3rd in America for gun violence.

The past 4 years in Tennessee, Governor Lee has succeeded in making Tennessee # 3 in America for crime and gun, he is doing his very best to make Tennessee # 1 in America for gun and crime.
