After hours of pushback from residents, gun stores, Second Amendment organizations, and even the county attorney, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva reversed course early Wednesday morning and now says his office is suspending attempts to force firearm retailers to lock their doors.

It had some effect in VA. But the gun grabbers are relentless.

Take this time to brush up on your country’s Constitution and the meaning of separation of powers, dickweed.

Yes. But I’m talking about pushback against the panic and hysteria over the Wuhan Flu.

This battle is being fought in NJ right now. Tyrant Phil Murphy has ceased all sales of firearms by unilaterally shutting down the NJ State NICS portal, under edict. NRA, GOA & NJ2AS are suing for immediate an injunction.

Ah. Ok.

I was astonished that Pelosi folded. We need more of that.

In WA state, all gun stores are closed as non-essential.
...........
However, all marijuana stores are open as essential.
...........
Who’d a thought that the most law abiding citizens don’t get to offer safety services to the public.
..........
While those, up until a couple of years ago were criminals, get to offer their services, selling intoxicants to drivers.

That’s about par for the People’s Soviet of Washington. When seconds count, the police are only hours away in PPE gear.

People are getting very angry at the TPTB and TPTB may sense, at this point, that not all of them are “keyboard” warriors or just shooting off their mouth. The Left NEVER backs off if they can avoid it.
