Mayor Keith James put the order into place after the city had seen protests and public demonstrations on Sunday, May 31, that were deemed as “civil unrest” when confrontations with law enforcement developed in the evening. Several fires were reported, as well as damage to stores.

Obvious questions arise from the order. First, how is any of this constitutional? And what good is the Second Amendment – which the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled is grounded in the concept of self-defense – if it can be infringed specifically when the need for defensive action may be especially acute?

It's true that this mayor invoked emergency powers under state law, which prohibits the sale of firearms and ammunition as well as carrying firearms in public for the duration of the declared state of emergency. It also prohibits confiscation, which is no small consolation.

Once that law is invoked those provisions are automatic, not discretionary. Painting those prohibitions as arbitrary by omission is just short of dishonest, and unworthy of the NRA.

The problem is with that statute, regardless of the political affiliation of the civil officer invoking it. It is facially unconstitutional.

Marion Hammer should jump on this like a cat on a junebug, and raise hell until the state legislature addresses it.

WHAT PART OF THE CONSTITUTION DOES HE NOT UNDERSTAND, SECOND ADMENDMENT SAYS IN VERY EASILY UNDERSTOOD SHALL NOT INFRINGE, WHAT A DOLT,
