Mayor In Illinois Adds Ban Of Firearms And Ammunition To Coronavirus Emergency Executive Order

The mayor of Champaign, Illinois has issued an executive order in response to the coronavirus that could potentially ban the sale of firearms and ammunition, Edgar County Watchdogs reported.

Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen’s declaration of emergency came on Friday and is related to the coronavirus, which has caused many states to declare emergencies as the virus continues to spread. The mayor’s executive order gives Frank Feinen “extraordinary powers,” including the ban of the sale of firearms and ammunition, among others restrictions including a ban on the sale of alcohol, and the sale or giving away of gasoline or other liquid flammable or combustible products, according to Edgar County Watchdogs, a local government accountability nonprofit.

“The executive order allows the city to be flexible to properly respond to the emergency needs of our community,” Jeff Hamilton, the city’s manager, told WAND 17. “None of the options will necessarily be implemented but are available in order to protect the welfare and safety of our community if needed.”

The local emergency will be in effect for 28 days, the city council unanimously decided in a Friday morning meeting according to WCIA TV. Some regulations included in the ordinance will be immediately useful, but others won’t be necessary unless...

Michigan Firearm Maker Awards Special “AR-14” to Auto Worker Who Challenged Biden on 2A

This past Tuesday Jerry Wayne was thrust into national politics. On that day he and the other union autoworkers at the Fiat Chrysler plant in Detroit, Michigan welcomed former Vice President and current Democrat Party nominee front runner Joe Biden to their new facility.

During Biden’s tour of the new plant Mr. Wayne took his chance and asked the former Vice President a question about his Second Amendment policy, “Why are you actively trying to end our Second Amendment rights and take away our guns?”

Instead of remaining calm and answering the question, Mr. Biden pushed aside his female aide and stuck his finger into the chest of the concerned autoworker and went into raged filled response;

“You don’t need an AR-14”

“Stop being a horse’s ass”

Instead of backing down from the threats, Jerry Wayne stood his ground for his conviction on the Second Amendment.

The video of the exchange went viral.

Mr. Wayne’s courage caught the eye of a local firearm manufacturer in Michigan call Next Level Armament and they decided to award the autoworker with a very special edition AR-15 model “AR-14” for his convictions.

In the announcement for the award Next Level Armament released this statement on their Facebook page, “When a patriot stands up for the 2A community it is a great thing, especially when he’s from the great state of Michigan. But when Jerry Wayne got up in Joe Biden’s feels, we decided we needed to get him taken care of. Next Level Armament AR-14 edition AR-15.”

Mr. Wayne’s new AR-15 has “AR-14” inscribed on the side of the it along with a...

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) stated that the coronavirus outbreak is a case for “a nationalization of crucial factories and industries that could produce the medical supplies to prepare this country for what we need.”

De Blasio said, “This is a war-like situation. We’re in a wartime scenario with a Mar-a-Lago attitude being used by the federal government, right? It’s so laid back, and I don’t understand it. And by the way, testing, how about ventilators? Where is the federal government making sure that our hospitals have the ventilators we’re going to need? Where is the federal government when it comes to surgical masks, getting them distributed where they need? This is a case for a nationalization, literally a nationalization of crucial factories and industries that could produce the medical supplies to prepare this country for what we need. Hand sanitizer, people are going crazy, I don’t blame them, trying to get hand sanitizer.”

He added, “There should be a national approach to ensuring max — every factory that can make hand sanitizer should be on 24/7 shifts and the distribution should be...
