Breitbart ^ | March 17, 2020 | AWR Hawkins

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell (D) signed a coronavirus emergency order last week allowing her to ban the sale and transportation of firearms.

She signed a follow-up proclamation on March 16, 2020, further emphasizing her emergency powers to “suspend or limit the sale, dispensing, or transportation, of alcoholic beverages.”

The declaration declaring the mayor’s power to restrict gun sales and transportation says she is “empowered, if necessary, to suspend or limit the sale of alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives, and combustibles.”

On March 16, 2020, the Second Amendment Foundation responded to Cantrell’s claims of emergency powers over firearms by reminding her that they sued over Second Amendment infringement following Hurricane Katrina and will do so during the era of coronavirus if needed.

SAF executive vice president Alan Gottlieb said:

DemoKKKrats never learn, and they never cease their power grabs.

But, then again, a little gun control for demoKKKrats probably wouldn't be a bad thing. /sarc

“...further emphasizing her emergency powers to “suspend or limit the sale, dispensing, or transportation, of alcoholic beverages.” “

That’ll be her political kiss of death right there.

This is when you exercise your 2A rights La. Shall not be infringed. What part of that is not clear? And what part of the remedies are not clear?

These little Comrade Mayors and Comrade Governors are far more dangerous than the Coronavirus.

Liberalism is a mental disorder (possibly caused by the corona virus?) That must be where they getting these delusional ideas.

Gun grabs... during a plague, that has nothing to do with the plague.

You can make a very POOR argument banning alcohol sales claiming that it encourage people to congregate but that’s at least some rationale.

But banning gun and ammo sales? That’s an outright violation of constitutional rights, especially when you’re OPENING THE PRISONS at the same time!

She needs to be removed from office immediately.

I suspect they are projecting widespread social discord within 3 weeks

Has the mayor even tried to explain how banning guns, ammo, and alcohol will help defeat the Chinese Flu pandemic?

You know, a Leftist would be searching for a sympathetic judge to issue an immediate stay on this, if a Leftist was against this...

Exactly my same thought. Is she also banning the sale of drugs??? No social distancing there when exchanging bag and money. I’d say there’s more danger in that than the simple sale of a firearm. Over reach to the max.

Does her ban on transporting firearms apply to her security detail?
Just curious.

I remember the video of the law enforcement breaking in to a little old woman that was just fine, and forcibly took her gun that was on her counter. She started crying, and I cried for her.
