But FU trump if you implement travel ban within US

I will fight martial law. Literally. Unless this virus gets ultimately worse there’s no reason to take our liberties away. Without them,who are we? Our forefathers would be ashamed of us if we give in to tyranny. When you trade liberty for security you have neither.
Alcohol-related deaths in US, per year, 88,000. Where’s the outrage ? We must ban all alcohol, now!!!
Word is they are looking for a 30 day travel ban.

How long until States like New York and California start going for the guns during this type of Martial law.
Then the argument will be ‘A nation this great shouldn’t create tests that give that many false positives’.
