The mayor of Champaign, Illinois, gave herself the power to ban the sale of guns and alcohol after declaring a citywide emergency to address the coronavirus.
Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen signed the executive order on Thursday declaring a state of emergency for the city. That executive order, which is in line with municipal code, comes with extraordinary powers for the mayor to enact over a short period of time as the city combats the spread of the coronavirus.

Right? No need to be alarmed. If you're alarmed, according to many on FR, you are some kind of ill informed hayseed hick wishing to spread a disease. Government knows best.
Amen!! The biggest danger is Government, always Government. Government is spiraling out of control, not some damn bad flu virus.
Because Viruses don’t spread diseases. Guns do. Or, duh? Anyway it’s an obviously grossly illegal act and nobody will follow it imho
And what exactly is the relationship between going after selling Arms and Munitions and fighting a virus other than Left wing scum using any flimsy excuse they can try to lay hands on?
Never let a crisis go to waste...
To seize power and implement socialism.
btt
I never saw such an exception written into the 2nd Amendment. Can someone who me where it is?
Congrats, FRascists.
Always “for the people” to a communist dictator wannabe.
What does the control of beer have to do with the Coronavirus? Or for that matter, the control of gun sales?
If you wanted to make some serious leadership actions....control the sale of toilet paper and limit each family to one package per day.
Influenza has killed at least 22,000 [1]. Wuhan-19 has killed 69 [2].
69 vs 22,000.
Covid-19 deaths are 0.31% that of flu.
If this were as bad as a bad flu, there would be 55,000 or more dead from Wuhan-19.
Imagine the meltdown in this country if there were 55,000 Wuhan-19 deaths?
They tried that alcohol thing in the 1930s and it did not work then and it is not going to work now. Fire up the still boys.
You need to review that metrics. CDC says it is overall at least 10x more deadly than flu on average and even higher among folks over 60. Dr. Fauci estimated millions dead. But dismiss this as something lighter than a flu.
People are exploiting this to push their own dangerous agendas.
Where are the Deep Dtate Rockettes now who said nobody was overreacting?
And how do they know this beyond maybe 5% accuracy? Have they tested everyone in the country for Covid-19? Have they even tested everyone, accurately, who has presented with the symptoms?
The answer is no. No they haven't. Not even close. They have NO idea how many people have, or have had Wuhan-19. It literally could be in the millions who have had it which would make it far LESS deadly than influenza.
They...have...no...idea with any reasonable accuracy what the denominator is.
Without know that to a very high degree of accuracy, any number thrown out there is pure, unadulterated Bullsh!t.
In 2014, CDC "modelers" (at least 19 w/MD's & PhD's after their names) projected that between 550,000 and 1.4 million people would contract the Ebola virus in just two African countries, Liberia and Sierra Leone.[1]
Turns out, 28,616 infection cases were reported in not just Liberia and Sierra Leone but also Guinea.[2]
They were off by 95 - 98%.
After 4 months of exposure, to a virus that is said to be at least as infectious as the flu...and there are only 69 deaths and 3,774 with Wuhan-19 VS 22,000 - 55,000 deaths and 36,000,000 - 56,000,000 infected with the flu?
Insane.
Anyone saying Wuhan-19 is "at least 10x more deadly" than the flu is being dishonest and unscientific in the least and more than likely has an agenda.
Nobody knows the true denominator. Nobody. Therefore...it's impossible to say how deadly it is compared to the flu...even within a range.
Ah .... so the true reason for the lies raises its head
This is so bizarre! Illinois has always been a bastion of 2nd Amendment fervor. lol
“ The answer is no. No they haven’t. Not even close. They have NO idea how many people have, or have had Wuhan-19. It literally could be in the millions who have had it which would make it far LESS deadly than influenza.“
You are correct, but we do not test everyone for flu either, so there’s that.
