Love it!!

...and what exactly is the prescribed remedy via the court to make affected parties whole? Did the affected named parties ask for $$, etc. I did read the article and towards the bottom the article link to info on the original NRA (!NRA! evil! bad!) suit

Day late and a dollar short.

Not the 1st time the 9th has made the right decision after its too late.

Does this mean locking down gun stores won't be a priority when China releases another virus on the world to start another pandemic on top of the current one that will never end in liberal states?

Something tells me that they are going to lock the gun stores down again no matter what... in the liberal states that is.

Not the 1st time the 9th has made the right decision after its too late.

Even if "after the fact", the point is that this came from the 9th Circus court. If the "commucrats" in CA decide to appeal this, we might have another case going to the SC.

As a point of perspective, during the most restrictive covid times in CA, liquor and weed stores were considered essential services that could continue. My brother’s paint business was initially not essential, but after he figured out that he sold .01% of his paint to people doing low income housing he was deemed essential as well.

In my home state of Alabama ANY store that sold firearms, sold ammo, or had an FFL license was deemed essential so no shutdowns for them at all.

Our MeeMaw Ivey Governor said that it is essential for Alabamians to be able to purchase items they have a constitutional right to purchase for means of self protection and is protected by the 2nd Amendment.

...and what will happen to the Nazis who shut down the gun stores???

nothing

I live in Ventura County, one of the affected counties.

What happened to the people who enacted this illegal act and broke Constitutional law? NOTHING. It's California!

The County Health Supervisor and those who pushed him to shut down all of our gun stores are all happily still collecting their state paychecks,
pension benefits and insurance. Heck, I bet Governor Gav Boy gave them a big Christmas bonus for shutting down all of those big, bad evil gun stores for as long as possible.

So goes it living behind enemy lines.

Not unusual. They do what they want, when they want, and worry about the consequences, if any, later.

In the meanwhile, civil rights are lost. One only has to look to what happened at the time of that hurricane in LA when they confiscated all firearms.

While I agree with the high Court's ruling, I don't necessarily believe the gun stores were closed only because of anti's, but because they were erroneously determined to be non-essential. Local bait shop here in town was shut down at a time in the year when their business was just starting to increase because of turkey season and open water river fishing. They forgot the first time they applied to stay open, that they had a small(very small as in 8 boxes) supply of old ammo still on their back shelves. The second time they applied, they were granted because of the ammo.

When the pandemic first hit, folks ran out to buy guns and ammo not because they were gonna hunt for food they couldn't buy, or that they were gonna target shoot since they couldn't work, most first time gun buyers bought because of the fear of civil unrest. Some bought because they thought they would have to protect the food and other basic needs in the near future, that others had no access to. Then came the stimulus checks and now, as for finding any ammo to feed those new guns, those same LGSs may as well be closed.

They are ELECTED REPRESENITIVE'S...that means that they are able, under the law, to violate your Constatutional Rights, and are only REMOVED from office for violating some liberal's definition of sexual harassment or racial discrimination...they figure that is what the courts are for...we violate your rights, and see if you have the stones to fight it in court...hell it's not their money...

I believe they we intentionally erroneously determined to be non-essential because those that made the decision are anti 2A.

Your 2nd paragraph illustrates why the should have remained open. Those are some obvious reasons that would seemingly have to be intentionally not recognized.

All my opinion, of course.
