In a surprising turn of events, police have announced that the man who caused several Memphis schools to be on lockdown while carrying an assault-style rifle did not commit any wrongdoing. This revelation has sparked intense debate regarding Tennessee’s gun laws and their evolution over the past decade.
Concerns were initially raised when the unidentified man was spotted with the weapon near school premises, prompting an immediate lockdown to ensure the safety of students and staff.

Experts anticipate that this incident will fuel further discussions at both the state and national levels, prompting lawmakers to revisit and potentially revise existing gun legislation.
