California: LA County Sheriff’s Effort to Close Gun Stores Gets Shut Down

Breitbart: Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva’s efforts to close all gun stores in the county have been suspended pending Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) reconsideration of what constitutes an “essential business.”

On March 24, 2020, Fox 11 reported Villanueva’s order to close gun stores.

The sheriff attempted to justify the store closures by intimating that all the first-time gun buyers emerging amid the coronavirus crisis create a perilous situation: “I’m a supporter of the 2nd amendment, I’m a gun owner myself, but now you have the mixture of people that are not formerly gun owners and you have a lot more people at home and anytime you introduce a firearm in a home, from what I understand from CDC studies, it increases fourfold the chance that someone is gonna get shot.” read more

  1. “I must have missed the exceptions clause in the Constitution where it says, “it increases fourfold the chance that someone is gonna get shot.”

    He’s just going off of his own experiences with his department. There’s a reason they put ballistic ceilings in the locker rooms of major departments. Fools.

  2. I’m a supporter of the Second Amendment too and anytime you introduce a firearm in a previously unarmed home, from what I understand from common damned sense, it Infinitely increases the chance that someone breaking into that home, is gonna get their ass shot.
