Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf (D), like many governors nationwide, issued an executive order last week to shutter non-essential businesses across the state to slow the spread of coronavirus.
Yup, our local hospitals here in PA are running out of masks, gloves and gowns and Gov. Wolf is forced to reopen gun stores because of the lunatic gun fringe.
Shoot the virus?
Or just anyone you suspect might be a carrier?
Or anyone who criticizes the former reality TV show host?
Law abiding citizens need to protect their toilet paper stores against the hordes of looters…
Aren’t certain rights suspended in times of a State of Emergency?
In CA gun stores are open too. And many are reporting their sales are going to first time buyers.
So untrained gunners with firearms.
What could possibly go wrong?
We don’t need elections. But by God we need our guns!
“Don’t cough on me!”
Bullets will transmit the virus??? Really, really fast? With lethal force?
Hmm…I didn’t consider first time buyers. All the non-gun owners who I know want to stay non-gun owners.
I just figured that here in Pennsylvania that everyone who wanted to buy a gun right now already had a well stocked arsenal at home.
'cause
“If you get closer than 6 feet, I’ll shoot!”
No.
“How many guns do you need?”
“One more”
(Old joke)
The last thing we need right now is a halt to some good old fashioned school shootings. Americans’ right to gun down a neighborhood shall not be infringed.
“In uncertain times, people are concerned for their safety.”
How true. The threat is not on the streets though. Just Oval Office Bathrooms and twitter accounts.
Only in America…
In WA, dispensary cannabis is considered a necessity. In uncertain times, people are concerned for their groove.
Same w/Oregon
“This amounts to an absolute and indefinite prohibition upon the acquisition of firearms by the citizens of this Commonwealth — a result in clear tension with the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 21 of the Pennsylvania Constitution.”
Article I, Sec 21:
“The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.”
Neither that, nor the 2nd Amendment, speaks to purchasing. At all. Citizens could, for example, legally be given a gun. Or inherit one. Neither Constitution says anything about how you get one, only that citizens have a right to keep and bear arms, however they acquire them.
A new “Stand Your Social Distance” law coming? Maybe FL?
On a happier, saner note, here in Colorado, when the city of Boulder issued a stay-at-home order earlier this week, bicycle shops were granted an exemption as essential businesses.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going for a ride.
