Anti-Gun Activist: Gun Purchases Will Cause More Wuhan Coronavirus Deaths or Somethin

[CPRAFAN]

So, in the latest episode of ‘Orange man…bad,’ we have an anti-gun activist suggesting that Trump is killing people because he’s designated gun stores as essential businesses. So, gun purchases could lead to more Wuhan coronavirus deaths or something. It’s absurd. It’s an overreach, one that was primed to be exploited in the Wuhan era. Anti-gun liberals’ lust for any reason to ban or restrict gun sales is encapsulated here. It harkens back to what Katie wrote right before this outbreak became serious on the coasts and in the New York City area, where an Illinois mayor tried to ban ammunition and gun sales due to the virus.

Stephen Gutowski and Graham Piro of the Washington Free Beacon joined the virtual townhall where the activist, Fred Guttenberg, made such a declaration:

Gun-control activist and Joe Biden surrogate Fred Guttenberg said the presumptive Democratic nominee would shut down gun stores in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

Guttenberg told the audience at a virtual town hall Monday that Trump was killing Americans by allowing gun stores to remain open, pointing to federal guidelines that labeled gun businesses "essential."

Anarcho-Tyranny: "This is precisely the bizarre system of misrule I have elsewhere described as "anarcho-tyranny"—we refuse to control real criminals, such as the CA shoplifters and bums) (that's the anarchy) so we control the innocent, (such as the gun owners) (that's the tyranny). Sam Francis

The far left anti-gun people are some of the worst extremists of the left. I think guns and ammo are certainly essential, and I sure wish CA didn't have this stupid mail order ammo ban in place because now I'd have to go into a store to buy ammo when I can just find it on my porch.

That said, I remember seeing quite a few stores that had just straight up bad situations in them. Crowds of people rubbing up against each other, packed into small rooms. The same guns being passed from one sweaty hand to another. It was unsafe not just from a viral standpoint, but a security and fire safety standpoint.

There are gun stores who do take proper precautions, though. They have an appointment system, buyers have to tell in advance what guns they are looking for, and each gun is wiped down before being put away. The staff are masked up, and they ask customers to as well. I do not want doctors and nurses to get sick, and I do not want gun store staff to get sick either.

It's simple actually. I think that the average anti gunner thinks that for each firearm sold to a citizen about 100 gun deaths are sure to follow. They are certain of this and forget trying to use logic to convince them.

Simple solution, make the guns wear approved masks, problem solved.

So, was there a whole bunch of people that got sick at said gun stores? I have not heard of gun store employees dropping like flies or any viral hotspots being linked to any gun store. Just like supermarket workers seem to be fine.

At about the same time this thread was started I was finding out about this (see attached video). The hoplophobes lost the argument before it got going.

They also don't get to pick and choose which constitutional amendments they want to abide by. The 21st Amendment is just as relevant as the 2nd Amendment.

I hope they count the gun deaths as covid-19 associated.
