The state lacks the authority to close gun shops en masse. Unless they’re going to provide some method of sale equally or less arduous for gun sales and transfers to take place, like shipping? But to shutter them in their entirety is a clear and direct violation of the Second Amendment.

This should be expected when the state turns jailbirds loose but locks up and murders helpless old people in nursing homes.

Gun stores and gun ranges are essential businesses.

Not in Massachusetts they didn't.Our RINO Governor declared that abortion mills could stay open but gun shops couldn't.it was only last week that a Federal judge ruled that “Tall Deval” (our Governor) was denying residents their 2nd Amendment rights and ordered them reopened.

From the article:

“Anthony Coulson, a former Drug Enforcement Administration agent who is an expert on the background check system, said the increased gun sales rendered the stay-at-home orders “meaningless.” “

So this guy is an expert on background checks and infectious diseases. That’s pretty impressive.

Armed citizens of a FREE American REPUBLIC!! It was the musket that won our freedom from European superpowers of those days. England, Spain, Holland, Italy, Belgium, and der frogs!! We fought them and WON, because we were armed and fought back. Could we have gained our Independence WITHOUT being armed? NOT A STINKING CHANCE!!!! We would have simply been cannon fader for the English armies of the queens, kings, or pretend ones.

We may yet have to resort to being armed to protect the very freedoms we have left. I don't think the United States military would fire on American citizens that are peacefully protesting. BUT, if the stinking leftists in charge, say in the White House, allowed United Nations forces, made up of, say the Red Chinese or the Soviets were that occupying UN force, then the US military WOULD have to turn and defend the Republic from the enemy, BOTH foreign (Soviets and Red Chinese and maybe even the Islamics) and domestic (the communist dimocratic homo party)!!!

This virus mess has cost us many freedoms. Our citizens ran for cover like a pack of rats. They took it in, hook, line and big heavy massive STINKERS, err I mean sinkers!! We lost the first battle. Will we lose the war?? The coming election will tell. If Trump loses that election, then yes, the war is indeed LOST!!!

As I have said here before, the commies will immediately move to destroy the Electoral College system, expand the Supreme Court by at least 4 to 5 judges so that they will never lose another case before it. They will vote in huge leftist commie judges, like this fool running the Flynn case. A Klinton appointed commie judge. He might even be trying to earn himself a loyalty appointment to the Supremes when they win the election(s) to come.

America is at a crossroads. Our very existence as a free nation is at hand. How many citizens really KNOW, UNDERSTAND, REALIZE, EXACTLY WHAT IS COMING UPON THIS NATION. I have long feared they do not understand most of these things. It is like our Churches now. We are full of pretend "Christians." Going through the motions. They do not realize what is coming upon this world EVEN when we have several detailed Books of the Bible telling us what is coming. To scared to read, understand, fearful, don't believe, totally FULL of UNBELIEF. This nation is on the verge of collapse. Nearly THIRTY TRILLION in debt, not counting the probably 250 TRILLION in future Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid unfunded expenditures.

The Holy Scriptures DO NOT mention ANY great Western Power in the Last Days. Europe, China, Russia, the Middle East nations are all mentioned, but not South America, Mexico, Canada or the USA. Something bad is going to happen to America, and it starts with the Harpazo/Rapturo/Catching Away/Snatching Out/Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ (and NO I DON'T mean only the Church of Christ, a domination in the Christian Church!!! I mean the entire Bride of Christ spoken of by the apostle Paul). Once that happens, I believe that starts the END of America. I believe it is near. Even at the door as Christ said. He told us to be watchful for all these signs given in Scripture. THOSE signs are now here. That means His return for His Bride is near. Believe it or not. Do so at your own peril. You had better be right. Belief in Him is your only chance. Know my friends. KNOW what He said, and believe by FAITH. FAITH and NOTHING ELSE!!! NO WORKS!! No buying your way into Heaven. NO family member paying your way in. NO purgatory. NO, by faith and faith alone and BEFORE we die. After death, there is NO SECOND CHANCE!!
