Are assault weapons banned in Tennessee?

Yes, they are banned
No, there is no ban
Yes, but only in certain cities
Yes, but only for individuals under 21

The correct answer is: No, there is no ban

In Tennessee, there is no outright ban on assault weapons at the state level. While some states have implemented restrictions or bans on certain types of firearms categorized as "assault weapons," Tennessee does not fall into this category. Instead, the state follows a more permissive approach to firearm ownership and regulation, allowing individuals to possess such firearms, subject to federal and state regulations that apply to all firearms. Some municipalities may have their own regulations regarding firearms, but these do not constitute a statewide ban on assault weapons. Understanding this context is crucial for recognizing why the statement about there being no ban reflects the current legal environment in Tennessee.
