West Palm Beach Florida Mayor Keith James declared a 72-hour State of Local Emergency on May 31, 2020, in response to riotous protests and the declaration includes a ban on gun and ammunition sales throughout the city.

The declaration is published online begins by positing there “has been an act of violence or a flagrant and substantial defiance of, or resistance to, a lawful exercise of public authority.”

It continues by maintaining there is further risk of acts of violence and/or defiance of authority, including “widespread disobedience of the law, and substantial injury to persons or to property; all of which constitutes an imminent threat to public peace or order and to the general welfare of the City of West Palm Beach.”

Therefore, he declared a State of Local Emergency which bans “the sale of, or offer to sell, with or without consideration, any ammunition or gun or other firearm of any size of [sic] description.”

His declaration also bans “the intentional display by or in any store or shop of any ammunition or gun or other firearm of any size or description.”

James’ declaration also bans law-abiding citizens from carrying guns in public places for self-defense.

No, it means if black thugs and white anarchists want to kill you and your family the Mayor does NOT want YOU being able to fight back... Maybe they can smash in the brains of your children before they set fire to your home. If you had a gun you might hurt one of them for killing your children...

The key to understanding is 'protesters' are PEACEFUL... even when they're burning down your home and looting your business.

The creampuff is threatened by the thought of guns.

Figures ...

They successfully terrorized America by the thought of;

Donald Trump being the President,

Donald Trump colluding with Russia,

Donald Trump working with Ukraine against the criminal democrats,

Donald Trump is evil, stupid, lazy, mean. crass, and should be impeached,

and Donald Trump is trying to kill us with Covid by not moving fast enough and sparking the recent murder and riots.

EVERYTHING I listed above is a figment of the democrats' imaginations and it is ALL an effort to instill FEAR into the hearts of Americans.

And most of you learned how to live with the commie directives instead of standing and saying "no" ... especially after about a month and REAL professionals gave us the skinny on ALL of the hustle.

Not a soy boy. Black radical with a trail of shady financial dealings and big debts to the IRS.

[Pollster1]

Smart people buy lots of guns and ammo in advance. Otherwise, the elitists will side with America’s enemies to keep you disarmed during riots and looting.

[silverleaf]

Speargun sales might go up, briskly

bans “the intentional display by or in any store or shop of any ammunition or gun or other firearm of any size or description.”
= = =

Some stores would have to close because they can’t remove or cover it all.

[dynachrome]

If you do not own a gun or two by now, and know how to use it, you are a fool. Get an air rifle or pistol or a crossbow. These are not considered firearms.

[Scrambler Bob]

or any other flammable or combustible liquid,
= = =

Vodka?
Jack Daniels?
Hand sanitizer?

“The possession in a public place of any portable container containing gasoline or any other flammable or combustible liquid is prohibited””

So you cannot even walk out of the liquor store with a bottle.

This is very well thought out.

Maybe empty the bottle before you leave the store, Drink it.

[ConservativeInPA]

[DPMD]

No problem. Dress up as a rioter and loot the gun stores. That the mayor will refuse to ban.

[Fred911]

A lesson for all law abiding citizens. When this 2020 installment of BLM-Social Justice-Looting-Antifa-free Nikes- rioting ends. When things cool down. Buy Ammo...Buy Weapons.... Work on your skills.....Refuse to be victimized

[Deplorable American1776]

So guns are illegal in West Palm Beach, is rioting and looting legal?
