Trump Administration Includes Firearms Industry as Essential, Critical

Gun Shop Store Sign

Gun Shop Store Sign

The Trump administration, as part of the struggle to contain and slow the spread of the Wuhan Flu, has issued a list of “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers”. The list has come from the Department of Homeland Security.

While the list is advisory, is not a directive, and has no penalties attached, it shows the thinking and priorities of the administration.

Producers, distributors, and retailers of firearms and ammunition are considered essential. In the excerpt below, the highlighting has been added. From cisa.gov:

DHS Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce 03-28-2020

DHS Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce 03-28-2020

There are many more categories listed beside the nine public safety categories above. The entire list includes 13 healthcare categories, the 9 public safety categories listed, 15 agriculture categories, 40 energy categories, 9 water and wastewater categories, 19 transportation categories, and 6 public works categories.

The inclusion of gun stores and shooting ranges may be taken as a warning to cities and states which have attempted to close those establishments by government fiat. Those attempts have met with strong resistance. The Los Angeles County Sheriff backed away from his attempt to close gun stores, then renewed his attempt to close them to all but state-sanctioned security forces. A lawsuit is in progress. From the latimes.com:

Villanueva sought to implement the closure earlier this week but was told by county lawyers that gun shops could be considered essential under county and state measures to encourage social distancing and cut the spread of the virus.

There is a case to be made that people who waited until this crisis to obtain a firearm have waited too long...

And other governors are ignoring it, just like they ignore immigration laws.

Like our own Michelle “Wuhan” Grisham.

Another piece of good news today.

The bad news:

6 million file for unemployment and some are expecting 40 million to be laid off when all is said and done

consensus on a second wave of this virus coming down the line at some point

talk of this adding 10 trillion to the debt when all is said and done

The good news:

That malaria drug really seems to help a lot.. could be a game changer

This news about guns sales being essential is great

85 percent of the country now wanting no invaders from Mexico

I forget any other good/bad news.

Don’t shoot me on the bad news. I didn’t make it up. The people who reported it may have!!!

Soon thousasnds of criminals will escape New York City to go upstate and into the rural areas of our country. Police will be concentating on keeping healthy and keeping urban areas safe.

Who you gonna call upstate? Ghost Busters?

Clean your iron and keep your powder dry.
And buy what you need from your local gun shops.

President Trump is 100% correct .

Thank goodness we have him.

You bet. Check NOW with your doctor, and get him on board. HHS and FEEMA have 10 million doses available. All you doctor has to do is call.

***********************

The Zelenko Protocol

Dr Zelenko and the Hassidic community have perfected a therapy in the United States which has three components proven to work, every time, if administered before the lungs fill with mucus.

What is being used is a combination of drugs , not just Hydroxy-chloroquin, which shows that the Democrats and Big Pharm do not want what is working should be understood by the People.They rail against a single part of the therapy without revealing the rest of it because IT WORKS.But it has to be administered before the lungs fill with mucus.

The Chinese discovered the cure of hydroxy-chloriquin because they noticed that Lupus patients who were taking a daily dosage of Hydroxy-chlroquine were not contracting COVID-19. They went to their database of Lupus infected patients in the thousands and the statistical analysis there was enough proof to make them engage Hydroxy-chloroquine based therapy immediately!

But what President Trump’s agent, Rudy Giuliani has done is created a populist end run around the CDC ( Fauci) and the FDA. This to save lives.( See video link below)

If you are a Trump supporter you know what to do. Contact your physician and ask whether this therapy can be available if you need it. If not shop around. And if you find a Jewish doctor, you’re probably in like Flynn.The therapy cost of the drugs is $20.00, so it won’t break you.

Its really up to you.

President Trump has arranged for millions of dosages to come into our country from Israel’s Teva Corporation....Free. Availability will be no problem.

Secondly there is a pretty sure possibility that hydroxy-chloroquine acts as an prophylaxis, taking 1 x 200 mg HCQ per day along with a 200 gram Zinc supplement.Almost all of the front line doctors in NYC are doing this, so why not everybody. We soon will have enough HCQ to do that.

EXCELLENT NEWS: Hydroxychloroquine Treatment Effective on 699 Patients

Must see video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TJdjhd_XG8&t=586s

Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko

Board Certified Family Practitioner

501 Rt 208, Monroe, NY 10950

845-238-0000

March 23, 2020

To all medical professionals around the world:

My name is Dr. Zev Zelenko and I practice medicine in Monroe, NY. For the last 16 years, I have cared for approximately 75% of the adult population of Kiryas Joel, which is a very close knit community of approximately 35,000 people in which the infection spread rapidly and unchecked prior to the imposition of social distancing.

As of today my team has tested approximately 200 people from this community for Covid-19, and 65% of the results have been positive. If extrapolated to the entire community, that means more than 20,000 people are infected at the present time. Of this group, I estimate that there are 1500 patients who are in the high-risk category (i.e. >60, immunocompromised, comorbidities, etc).

Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results:

1. Any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated.

2. Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated.

3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated (unless their circumstances change and they fall into category 1 or 2).

My out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:

1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days

2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days

3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days

The rationale for my treatment plan is as follows. I combined the data available from China and South Korea with the recent study published from France (sites available on request). We know that hydroxychloroquine helps Zinc enter the cell. We know that Zinc slows viral replication within the cell. Regarding the use of azithromycin, I postulate it prevents secondary bacterial infections. These three drugs are well known and usually well tolerated, hence the risk to the patient is low.

Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen.

Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.

In sum, my urgent recommendation is to initiate treatment in the outpatient setting as soon as possible in accordance with the above. Based on my direct experience, it prevents acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prevents the need for hospitalization and saves lives.

With much respect,

Dr. Zev Zelenko

Listen to the physicians who are on the from lines. Listen to Dr. Oz, and Dr. Zelenko of the Hassidic Jewish physician community of New York.

Keep in mind the Zelenko Protocol would NOT be happening were it not for Trump planting his foot up many bureaucrat asses.

The right man for the times.

Perhaps a few will learn some good lessons. Hopefully one of those lessons is that you CANT buy a gun off the Internet without a background check.

You are right, but it was the Hassidim of New York that put the President in the know.

Let not history forget that. Its an important aspect of the forces of light investing the Trump administration on many levels.

May Divine Providence continue to protect and invest President Trump.

There are many liberals on Twitter bitterly complaining about that right now - they’re whining about their discovery that it is nowhere nearly as easy to order a gun online as their media gods had led them to expect.

No, but perhaps ridiculing them might be in order.

“States are reversing they ban on gun sales, based on this.”

More likely based on the scarcity of ammo. Guns are not very useful without ammo.

Yup, I’ve been watching that revelation to many on social media. It is hysterical that some can’t believe that their state has a waiting period and that they have to fill out paperwork. Some are complaining about the drug question being against their Second Amendment rights. Funny stuff.

Yup, it’s hysterically funny.

Meanwhile, as a direct result of my ‘unfortunate experiences’ over the course of a certain week in Los Angeles back in 1992, I’ve made sure to never be without something of utility against that sort of thing since I moved out of state. I’ve had a Saiga 12 as the last evolution of my thought on the matter for the better part of sixteen years and it’s patiently waiting here in case of (God forbid) similar need, next to a big pile of fully loaded drum magazines. We couldn’t get new guns during the Riots due to local laws - what made these people think that they would have it any easier?
