If everyone ‘stays at home’ per the governors order we should all be safe, right?

It’s just the bad guys who would be safer!

Closing gun stores is defying the Federal Government which deemed such businesses essential.

Who exactly is breaking the law if the stores are required to close? Hmmmm?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Trump has declared them to be Critical Infrastructure.

PA had to let them reopen here.

Maryland is THE Freak state. It is quite hopeless there. Escape while you still can and they still allow you to do so. It is replete with leftists, ferals and government “workers” (bothactive and retired.

Agreed. But it was timing for us. We had a little target ammo after our last trip to the range. We would like more so that we can keep practicing and stay proficient. Target as well as self defense ammo were cleaned out.

The Maryland delegates and senators, all Democrats, who signed letter are making no attempt to be anonymous.

This is Maryland after all.

Even after the NICS check it gets slow walked through the State Police Stasi ...

There is no legitimate reason to disarm the populace, remember Arbeit Macht Frei for the disarmed. Anyone who thinks that the Democrats are not capable of the same actions to enforce their will on the populace as the Soviet Union, Pol Pot's Cambodia, Nazi Germany, etc. had better go back and look at history again. Socialism cannot be voluntarily inflicted on a populace. Do nothing morons who use the government to parasitize the productive members of society will vote for it, but the rest of us won't.

Bureaucrats thrive in anonymity. List their names... and with a statement “these people don’t trust you.”

[Deplorable American1776]

Oh no, where will the criminals get their guns from if gun stores are closed?? 😋

And the mayor of Houston ASKED them to “Just stay at home and chill”.

I'm quite familiar with the store pictured in the article. The couple that started it are very nice people. I got great advice from them over the years and they held some supplies for me thinking I'd come in a buy it. They know their customer.

After the Maryland Gun Act of 2013, they had a enough and moved to Texas, opening a store by the same name. The owner's brother (they look much alike) took over the store.
