Wouldn't fly here in Georgia.
Right? No need to be alarmed. If you're alarmed, according to many on FR, you are some kind of ill informed hayseed hick wishing to spread a disease. Government knows best.
The mayor of Champaign, Illinois, gave herself the power to ban the sale of guns and alcohol after declaring a citywide emergency to address the coronavirus.
Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen signed the executive order on Thursday declaring a state of emergency for the city. That executive order, which is in line with municipal code, comes with extraordinary powers for the mayor to enact over a short period of time as the city combats the spread of the coronavirus.
Among the powers Feinen gained after signing the executive order was the power to ban the sale of guns, ammunition, alcohol, and gasoline. Feinen could also cut off access to individuals’ gas, water, or electricity. The city also has the ability to “take possession of private property” or order the temporary closing of all bars or liquor stores.
Run this wacko out of office.
What the hell do gun sales have to do with a cold epidemic?
And how the hell are you supposed to make a hot toddy, the only proven medical treatment...with no booze?
In one fell swoop, this lady has overridden two Constitutional Amendments. I’m impressed.
this might illustrate an opportunity for trump to show leadership at the state and local level with local R leaders. I suppose that if it has nor yet happened it might imply Rino resistance.
Wouldn't fly here in Georgia.‘Fraid not. The flu doesn’t give every crossing guard the power to “suspend” our constitutional rights.
Fascist bastards.
They always say “temporary” to sell it.
Then they keep extending it, and then finally say it will be permanent.
Executive orders by Mayors or anyone DOES NOT TRUMP THE BILL OF RIGHTS....
This is COMPLETELY ILLEAGAL!
Everyone stuck at home for weeks with no booze....what could go wrong?
