California should be responsible for reimbursement of any and all lost sales and wages.

It should, but it won't be allowed.

Additionally all Gun Stores, Wholesalers and Manufacturers should be first in line for Brandon's COVID Economic Impact Grants, Subsidies and Economic Payments.

I was thinking Western China because of all the troublesome Muzzies in Calipornia, like the Uyghurs.

When there are three judge panel decisions in favor of the Second Amendment, they almost always are appealed to a Ninth Circuit en banc panel, where they are overturned.

You are correct, as usual.

Trump needed more time to properly clean out "Courts" like the Ninth Circus, although he did some repair work there.
