In reply to the discussion: California's COVID gun store shutdowns ruled illegal [View all]progree
(12,725 posts)13. So for example if one county closes bars because of super-high infection rates
and another county, with much lower infection rates, lets their bars remain open, then the bars in the first county have had rights denied. Well, yes, that's a way to look at it.
Likewise, if Chicago regulates gun stores more strictly than some neighboring suburbs who preys off of Chicago's situation, yes, indeedy, rights are denied. Terrible, just terrible.

Well leave it to the gun fetishists to keep the gun stores open. I suppose they need them to kill

There's a gun store I pass on my way to my dentist. They had a big TRUMP banner for a long time
