The mayor of Champaign, Illinois has declared a town emergency over the Wuhan coronavirus that includes a potential ban on the sale of firearms and ammunition.

According to a local report from WAND 17, Champaign Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen has issued an executive order that would give her office "extraordinary powers." She has issued the order despite the town and surrounding area not having a single case of the disease.

I think our "clickbait" friend might have had too much to drink tonight. He seems to think that I personally posted the "click here to read article ..." link that appears automatically at the top of every page of replies past the first.

Need to send in trucks of food and water!

Armed Federal troops ordered to forcibly depose the Mayor and township Government would be more effective.

Or maybe not. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

I suppose that it would be best to keep a low-profile. And refuse to get on that bus. "They" will run short of enforcers very quickly as the staff call in sick and stay home to protect their own families. It may be possible to outlast and outlive them.

Like gavin newson signing a bill circumventing your property rights in the confiscation of hotels, later to be used as housing for the homeless after the pandemic, this a##wipe is circumventing your constitutional right to bear arms

How do these Toads Dream up this Stuff?

Champaign (along with Urbana) is the home of the University of Illinois.

A very, very, VERY long time ago I was a student there and it was actually a place where one could be educated.

During the last thirty or forty years, it's been turned into a liberal/socialist/communist indoctrination center and I suspect both the mayor and her quaint viewpoints on the US Constitution spring from that foul cesspool.

(Don't even bother to ask me about the place. I think I burned all record of U of I attendance around 1968.)

Never point a gun at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
Oh... Never mind.

Ignore the ban, and ignore her.

This is a Right; whether this dyke likes it or not.

Act like it. Free Men don’t ask permission from Public Servants.

“somebody explain to me how having more women in politics has helped this country”

That is something that the left accomplished. Everything the left has accomplished is evil.

Yep - and in MS, many of us w/o the required permits of the time walked around with our weapons openly on out hips and got hat-brim salutes from passing LEOs patrolling the areas....almost no looting and I never heard of anyone having to fire a shot at another human being because of it.
