CA: The shaky case for ordering gun stores closed during the coronavirus outbreak

But unlike gun stores, churches have the ability to conduct services online. Gun stores don’t have the same option.

In fact, even gun stores going through great lengths to observe social distancing procedures were ordered closed. This is problematic. The government should make some kind of allowance for Californians to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

The reality is that few people are going to lose sleep over the temporary loss of gun rights in California. Public opinion polling shows that gun ownership is dwindling, while demand for stricter gun laws is rising.

"Public opinion polling shows that gun ownership is dwindling, while demand for stricter gun laws is rising."

Those polls are suspect. They depend on the region polled and the way a question is asked, and those questions can be manipulated to achieve a predetermined political outcome.

The fact is that as crime continues its decades-long downward trend, there has been an exponential increase in firearms sales, and a substantial percentage of those are first-time buyers. This is what FBI-compiled statistics show. Naked statistics by themselves have no political agenda; in most cases opinion polls do.

All of that should be kept in mind when assessing what is actually happening with American cultural norms on firearms.
