Looks like Jackson Mississippi just used Covid 19 to ban open carry?

And this, kids is why we have a state statute preempting local authorities, specifically in times of emergencies. Enacted shortly after Katrina.

I don’t think it was ever enforced and if it was, it was only the mayor thinking it was smart. There was also pending litigation and the lawyer for the city resigned.

Good call out, nice to see this change:

“We are glad that Mayor Lumumba appears to have realized that he cannot lawfully disarm law-abiding citizens and ‘suspend’ constitutional rights,” said Aaron Rice, the Director of the Mississippi Justice Institute. “Now, more than ever, we must remain vigilant to protect our civil liberties. MJI will always be here to fight for Mississippians when an overbearing government tries to infringe on the freedoms that are the strength of our state and our country.”

And I bet he's not done. This is, to him, merely a temporary setback in his long-term plan to "enhance" "gun safety."

You will get exactly the Gov. you vote for.

I guess I shouldn’t be, but every day when I read the headlines about what some (99 % democrat) useless politician has proclaimed in the name of public safety, I’m just shocked at what I’m reading. It would be nice to think that it will wake up the idiot voters, but I know that’s too much to ask.

I'd go down there and protest tomorrow, but the last thing I need is to get into a fight in Jackson, Mississippi on a Saturday night.

A civil emergency is a significant in-progress or imminent threat to public safety. He is equating this to a public health emergency because he wanted the ban to last the duration of the public health emergency. He's just not smart enough to represent his people, if that's what he wants to do.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Route 45 again.

I put +10 in his magazine for both of us.

It would be nice if we had a law that preempted States from in fringing on the rights of citizens.

That is a good idea, change the rep to bullet imojis.

Perhaps a Constitutional Amendment.

Do you actually think we could get enough support?

Most victims never see it coming. I believe if you O.C., it would be a deterrent for someone likely to pull a gun on you demanding your wallet and keys. I would argue it keeps crimes from even happening.
