President Trumps Department of Homeland Security released updated guidelines naming gun manufacturers and retailers as essential on Saturday, which means they are to stay open and operational nationwide during a Chinese coronavirus shutdown.
The DHS guidelines list as essential:
Workers supporting the manufacturing of safety equipment and uniforms for law enforcement, public safety personnel, and first responders. Workers supporting the operation of firearm or ammunition product manufacturers, retailers, importers, distributors, and shooting ranges.
The Second Amendment Foundations Alan Gottlieb commented on the DHS declaration, saying, Every freedom loving American owes President Trump and his administration a very big thank you for protecting our Second Amendment Rights. This is another Trump promise made and promise kept.
The DHS declaration comes just days after Governor Phil Murphy (D) laughed in the face of a man who expressed concern that the statewide shutdown in New Jersey had put an end to gun sales, thereby eliminating the ability to get a firearm for self-defense.
Breitbart News reported the concerned man asking Murphy, If less guns reduce crime, will you give up your personal bodyguards?
Murphy responded by intimating that he and the citizen had a philosophical difference in the role guns play, with the governor believing a safer society has fewer guns, not more guns. And the guns that do exist are in the hands of the right people particularly trained members of law enforcement.
The governor then giggled, referenced an armed law enforcement member next to him, and said, It is what it is.

Is there ANY DOUBT AT ALL that we elected the best man OF ALL TIME for these times???
Now Mr. President, PLEASE blanket authorize noise suppressors
Children’s hearing health is at stake
I bet gun shops in certain states will still stay closed.
This is great. But I don’t see how it changes anything. The states and the cities will still do their own thing.
Good time for President Trump to re-purpose BATF to enforce protection of 2nd Amendment.
This is another Trump promise made and promise kept.

Golly, she’s *cute*
Excellent...
Gee, I thought it was just Joe Biden had backed her into a wall...

“Workers supporting the operation of firearm or ammunition product manufacturers, retailers, importers, distributors, and shooting ranges.”
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787
excellent, crushes all state and local dictator decrees
But Hobby lobby is closed, and they sell needles and thread and fabric for sewing masks and abusive family members into their sheets.
It’s not binding though. It’s just added to DHS guidelines. Liberal states can still ignore it.
I love President Trump!

I bet it got Trump’s attention when Alex Jones had that gun store owner on his show from Austin who refused to shut down his business as he was being ordered to by local authorities. He already dug up all the proper paperwork you posted and they backed down. Wasn’t easy, but he got it done.
In Texas they are busy making hand sanitizer.
