    ACLU is an acronym for American Civil Liberties Union. Far more important than what the NRA does.

    But when it hits the fan having a gun becomes essential, why, because if you have what I need and you are not armed, what yours becomes, mine leaving you with nothing if you cooperate or dead if you don't.

    And just to break the boredom of sheltering in place, what may also be taken, could include your son or daughter, children can come in handy for doing things around the home and providing entertainment.

    I guess you don't understand the reality of how far South a society can go when everything runs out, and the SNAP card can buy nothing, and even out here in no where, it's happening, luckily, for most of us, when you live out in nowhere, one by default stocks up on everything every few months, because a trip to a grocery store or farmers market is along drive, and a trip to a good butcher is even longer.

    So we buy in bulk, freeze, store and can what we need to survive on and to help our elderly neighbors need to survive on.

    It may not be a Ribeye steak each night, but what is provided is nutritious and healthy and if you plan on coming by and taking it from me, bring lots of friends, we don't call 911, we have vultures to take of the problem.

    By law they are prohibited from buying a gun.

    Get a clue!

    The Federal government disagree with that opinion, guns stores, ammo stores and ranges have bee declared essential services.

    If local governments do not comply with that order they shall be sued into complying.

    There are suing NY because the Trump administration specifically said they were essential businesses.

    Apparently you know little about Korea town and why they were spared during the Rodney King riots in LA.

    That’s just your opinion. Not everyone agrees.

    Your welcome, clearly guns aren't the problem. Glad that's cleared up...

    Like just about every issue gun grabbers use, when looked at closely the guns are not a problem but somehow always linked is some absurd way. Thanks for following the script and completely ignoring the actual problems and trying so hard to denigrate our rights...

    "The NRA is suing Gov. Cuomo after New York closed gun shops as non-essential businesses"

    then free speech means we can't close place people meet to communicate with each other either

    they will lose this case, public safety will win out on this one, otherwise the 1st and 2nd could be used to violate any order from police or the government during an emergency

    can't close movie theaters, those actors have a right to get their message out, free speech

    That’s wrong. Kind of a silly thing to say when we have gun laws in every state in the union. There are no Supreme Court rulings that have ever said that.

    Still wrong, none of your “ rights” are absolute.

    guns, alcohol and cigarettes should be allowed to be sold online, easier to track sales, and easier for consumers to buy

    and in a case like this, those people do not have to leave their homes to buy these things

    I was making a point, not saying either was an absolute right in an emergency, in fact I agree with you

    in fact, a cop can disarm you for security reasons with no issues if they feel you may be a threat to other people

    Trump even says take the guns first, due process second

    you are right, ex-felons have as much right to have a gun to protect their homes and families as anyone else

    Sorry.....I was responding to the following post and my chubby fingers got away from me ;) your post was spot on. I was a cop for 10 years. A usual legally armed person becomes illegally armed as you have stated, under some conditions, mainly being in a restricted area. Generally, all gun laws are testimonials to the 2@ not being absolute.

    the NRA\ACLU can sue in the middle of the worst pandemic we have seen in years over something stupid if they wish, no one is stopping them, but no one can stop others from exercising their free speech to comment on what they're doing either

    Interesting that many gun advocates do not see the rights of others being infringed when society allows any firearm to be carried any where by anyone. Since they can’t be, it’s obvious that the 2@ isn’t absolute. We have firearms laws in every state in the union. Obviously, they aren’t absolute.

    In the state of New York, it can take months for a private citizen to obtain the necessary legal permission to take possession of a firearm in a legal manner.
