Trump Admin Names Gun Makers, Retailers Essential Businesses Nationwide
Breitbart.com ^ | 3/28/2020 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 03/28/2020 8:00:33 PM PDT by rktman

President Trump’s 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 Foundation’s 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.”

Yet the U.S.S.A. - United Socialist States of America can quarantine their own slaves in an effort to bring about the toppling of the republic without regard to the rest of the citizens? Socialist state operatives HOLD their citizens HOSTAGE...plunging the entire republic into chaos. Agencies not affected. Weaponized bureaucracy rolls on. Propagandists elbow bump before rehearsed appearances. Agencies NOT ELIMINATED. LOOTING continues.

BE PREPARED

2020 see clearly

The DESTRUCTION of the republic continues, unabated.

READY - AIM - VOTE - REPUBLICAN (Leadership at the top...Thank you, sir)

We can hunt for the rest of these CRIMINALS in subsequent elections. More individual liberty / Constitutional government less TYRANNY is never more than 2 election cycles away.

“This is great. But I don’t see how it changes anything. The states and the cities will still do their own thing.”

Trump with his order set up the fascist democrat governors and mayors for huge lawsuits against them.

Democrat gun-grabbers in my state are already getting pounded by lawsuits and are rescinding the illegal anti-2nd amendment decrees.

What a piece of sh*t Murphy is.

He has his own personal Gestapo bodyguard and laughs at a Citizen’s concerns for safety.

has a major opportunity: he can BAN assault weapons and envoke strict gun laws and backgrnd checks in one executive order. To heck w/ lobbyists at NRA - the majority of Americans and common sense supports this! It’s time to do what is right for our country.

We are in the perfect place and time to deal with this crowd. If Murphy has Chinese money and even if its laundered he is one dead communist SOB.

I bet gun shops in certain states will still stay closed.

Yep. They have been conditioned to do what their masters tell them.

Their flagship store shut down and they laid off hundreds, just in Springfield MO.
I don’t see why they couldn’t tape off everything and leave the gun section open, but maybe it’s too tricky logistically or from regulations, dunno.
