All Business Are Essential - Time to Get Back to Normal

Today, my family and I drove over 50 miles to get an unauthorized haircut from a family member.  He owns a barbershop, and he met us behind locked doors to cut our hair.  How insane is that?  What has happened where we have to sneak around to get haircuts? It is time to open up the economy.  I have been concerned about the lockdown from the moment it was implemented.  I understand limiting large gatherings and even closing the schools.  But why is a liquor store more essential than a barbershop? We shut the economy down in order to "flatten the curve" and help smooth out the burden on our medical resources.  The curve is flattened.  In fact, there are hospitals laying people off and on the verge of bankruptcy because they are operating at less than 50% capacity. Now it seems the goalposts have moved, and we want to eliminate the virus before we get back to normal.  That is not how we live our lives.  I believe we are doing more damage now than the virus is doing.

We are still doing transfers, with a couple of new procedures so that we can all practice social distancing.  Let us know if we can help you!

First-Time Buyers Explain Why Coronavirus Drove Them to Gun Stores in Record Numbers "Simply put: I wanted peace of mind when it comes to the safety of my family," Eaton said. Eaton's pistol was one of 2.3 million firearms to fly off the shelves in March, the single busiest month for gun sales ever. The Washington Free Beacon spoke to half a dozen new gun owners who purchased a total of six handguns and two shotguns. All of the new gun owners provided proof of purchase, though some asked not to have their last names published because of potential career backlash. Two Tennessee Teens Prove How Worthless Gun Control Is We’re still waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. NYC, but in the meantime, justices will be considering another Second Amendment-related case in conference later this month. Rodriguez v. San Jose is a case out of California, and the issue before the court is whether or not a woman’s Second Amendment rights were violated when police seized her firearms and refused to return them, because they believed her husband to be a danger to himself or others. Feds say drive-through gun sales are allowed during coronavirus outbreak The federal government has clarified that gun dealers are permitted to process background checks, make sales and accept payments for firearms using specialized drive-through or walk-up arrangements, a win for gun retailers looking to maintain their sales in an era of coronavirus fears and state-mandated "social distancing."
