New Orleans Mayor Issues Coronavirus Order Allowing Ban on Sale, Transportation of Firearms
[Breitbart] New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell (D) signed a coronavirus emergency order last week allowing her to ban the sale and transportation of firearms.

She signed a follow-up proclamation on March 16, 2020, further emphasizing her emergency powers to "suspend or limit the sale, dispensing, or transportation, of alcoholic beverages."

The declaration declaring the mayor’s power to restrict gun sales and transportation says she is "empowered, if necessary, to suspend or limit the sale of alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives, and combustibles."

On March 16, 2020, the Second Amendment Foundation responded to Cantrell’s claims of emergency powers over firearms by reminding her that they sued over Second Amendment infringement following Hurricane Katrina and will do so during the era of coronavirus if needed.

SAF executive vice president Alan Gottlieb said:

#2 Guns are no prob. We already have enough to defeat most European armies. Now, if she tries to ban the sale of alcohol in the Big Easy, may God have mercy on her soul.

#4 What's with NOs? New Orleans didn't get the firearms thing right during Katrina either.
