Democrats Move to Suppress Gun Rights as Coronavirus Outbreak Intensifies

Just as toilet paper and hand sanitizer are flying off the shelves of America’s grocery stores, guns and ammunition are flying off the shelves of America’s gun stores.
As local governments begin telling residents to remain at home, and states, alongside the federal government, explore options for implementing widespread lockdowns, fears of natural disaster-style looting and crime sprees have escalated.
Americans’ demands for guns and ammunition have picked the shelves of many gun stores clean, with some state and local governments responding by ordering the stores to close and even banning the sale of firearms, and the issuing of carry permits.
In New Orleans, Louisiana, Mayor LaToya Cantrell, a Democrat, signed a March 11th emergency declaration giving herself the power to ban not just the sale, but the transportation of firearms. Five days later, she amended the declaration to include the sale of alcohol.
Mayor Cantrell is “empowered, if necessary, to suspend or limit the sale of alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives, and combustibles,” the declaration reads.
Even those with already existing carry permits would be forbidden from carrying their firearm in the city and could face criminal charges if they are to do so.
Cantrell’s order harkens back to some of the darkest days in New Orleans’ history when, in 2005, then-Mayor Ray Nagin issued a similar order, leading to the confiscation of legally owned firearms from American citizens.
“No one will be allowed to be armed,” former Police Superintendent P. Edwin Compass III said at the time. “Guns will be taken. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns.”
They did this during Katrina, which was severely under-reported. They went to houses scooping up guns, a total violation of peoples' rights.
