Trump Admin Names Gun Makers, Retailers Essential Businesses Nationwide
[Breitbart] President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security released updated guidelines naming gun manufacturers and retailers as essential on Saturday, which means they are to stay open and operational nationwide during a Chinese coronavirus shutdown.

The DHS guidelines list as essential:

    Workers supporting the manufacturing of safety equipment and uniforms for law enforcement, public safety personnel, and first responders.

    Workers supporting the operation of firearm or ammunition product manufacturers, retailers, importers, distributors, and shooting ranges.


The Second Amendment Foundation's Alan Gottlieb commented on the DHS declaration, saying, "Every freedom loving American owes President Trump and his administration a very big thank you for protecting our Second Amendment Rights. This is another Trump promise made and promise kept."

The DHS declaration comes just days after Governor Phil Murphy (D) laughed in the face of a man who expressed concern that the statewide shutdown in New Jersey had put an end to gun sales, thereby eliminating the ability to get a firearm for self-defense.

Breitbart News reported the concerned man asking Murphy, "If less guns reduce crime, will you give up your personal bodyguards?"

Murphy responded by intimating that he and the citizen had a philosophical difference in the role guns play, with the governor believing "a safer society has fewer guns, not more guns. And the guns that do exist are in the hands of the right people ‐ particularly trained members of law enforcement."

The governor then giggled, referenced an armed law enforcement member next to him, and said, "It is what it is."
Keep giggling you tyrant. We'll see how chipper you are when the praetorian guard stops protecting you.

#4 Innit funny, except for FN, Kalashnikov, IMI, CZ, RIA, Beretta, Bennelli, SIG, Mauser, Sako/Tikka (and several turkish manufacturers you should never send money to until they free themselves from the muzz disease) One form of domestic manufacturing still in Merica is the firearms industry. I'm sure I've missed some venerable overseas armorers. Feel free to fill in the missing pieces below.
