SAF Sues New Jersey Governor for Shutting Gun Stores During Coronavirus Crisis

 

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/03/24/saf-sues-new-jersey-governor-shutting-gun-stores-during-coronavirus-crisis/

 

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed suit against New Jersey Gov. Philip D. Murphy and State Police Supt. Col. Patrick J. Callahan over the forced closure of gun stores throughout the state during the coronavirus crisis.

 

Governor Murphy ordered a statewide shutdown of all “non-essential businesses,” and that shut down took effect on March 21, 2020, at 9 p.m.

 

Gun and ammunition stores were not included as essential in Murphy’s order. Moreover, the shutdown was followed by a state police announcement that background checks for gun sales would no longer be performed during the coronavirus crisis.

 

SAF responded by filing suit to defend the civil rights of New Jersey residents.

 

The suit, Robert Kashinsky, Racing Rails LLC d/b/a Legend Firearms; New Jersey Second Amendment Society; Second Amendment Foundation, Inc., v. PHILIP D. MURPHY, in his official capacity as Governor of the State of New Jersey; and PATRICK J. CALLAHAN, in his official capacity as State Director of Emergency Management and as Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, was filed March 23, 2019, in the United States District Court District of New Jersey.

 

The text of the suit says:

 

This lawsuit challenges the Defendants’ acts of mandating the closure of all retail businesses that sell firearms or ammunition and of making the portal for firearms background checks unavailable on the website of the New Jersey State Police. Taken together, these actions amount to a ban on obtaining firearms or ammunition in the State of New Jersey.

 

The suit does not diminish the seriousness of the cornonavirus crisis. However, Plaintiffs note that ” this emergency (like any other emergency) has its constitutional limits. It would not justify a prior restraint on speech, nor a suspension of the right to vote. Just the same, it does not justify a ban on obtaining guns and ammunition.”

 

SAF’s Alan Gottlieb commented on the shutdown of gun sales in New Jersey, saying, “In order for New Jersey residents to purchase firearms, they must go through a licensed firearms retailer and pass a background check. However, Murphy’s order was subsequently followed by a notice posted on the State Police website that the agency is no longer conducting background checks.”

 

Gottlieb added, “Gov. Murphy cannot simply suspend the Second Amendment, and neither can Supt. Callahan. Yet, under this emergency order, that’s exactly what they’re doing. The Constitution, and federal law, don’t allow that. New Jersey may have been the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights, but they’re the last state to recognize it.”

French Populist Marion Marechal Slams the EU for Response to Coronavirus Pandemic

 

>Europe waking up to the EU SCAM?

Former populist French MP Marion Maréchal has slammed the European Union’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, saying the health crisis has shattered the bloc’s notion of solidarity.

 

The former populist politician and niece of National Rally leader Marine Le Pen slammed the political bloc in an opinion article for news website Atlantico over the weekend writing: “How many financial, economic, health, and migratory shocks will it still take for our leaders to finally understand that this European ‘union’ is a masquerade?”

 

“China came to the aid of Italy before France and meanwhile, government spokesman Sibeth Ndiaye was giving lessons to the Italians. Angela Merkel no longer even pretends to play collectively and has not once uttered the word ‘Europe’ in the speech addressed to her fellow citizens,” she added.

 

Maréchal went on to note the successes which countries like Japan and South Korea have had in containing the coronavirus and said: “Faced with the shortcomings of the EU, countries like Italy and Serbia are turning to China, which today has the production capacities that we have given up.”

 

“We are paying for decades of political choices that have sacrificed national power and sovereignty on the altar of a welfare state ruined by immigration, a bloated administration, and the dogmas of the European Union,” she noted.

 

France, along with several other European countries, has seen a massive surge in coronavirus cases in the last weeks and as of Monday recorded nearly 20,000 confirmed cases and 860 fatalities.

 

French President Emmanuel Macron ordered a 15-day lockdown of the country last week and declaring the situation a “health war”.

 

While many of France’s streets have been emptied of people, some areas of the country, such as the no-go suburbs of Paris, have seen record numbers of fines since the lockdown was initiated.

 

Police in the Seine-Saint-Denis area, which has a huge illegal migrant population, told media that they felt overwhelmed by the lockdown efforts and one officer remarked that it could be impossible to fully enforce the quarantine measures.
