While those on the left have made their careers on abolishing the 2nd Amendment, trying to get us to believe that local law supersedes the United States Constitution, President Trump settles the issue by calling those who make and sell guns “Essential Businesses.”

President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security released updated guidelines naming gun manufacturers and retailers as essential on Saturday, which means they are to stay open and operational nationwide during a Chinese coronavirus shutdown.
The DHS guidelines list as essential:
Workers supporting the manufacturing of safety equipment and uniforms for law enforcement, public safety personnel, and first responders.
Workers supporting the operation of firearm or ammunition product manufacturers, retailers, importers, distributors, and shooting ranges.
The Second Amendment Foundation’s Alan Gottlieb commented on the DHS declaration, saying,
“Every freedom-loving American owes President Trump and his administration a very big thank you for protecting our Second Amendment Rights.
This is another Trump promise made and promise kept.”
The DHS declaration comes just days after Governor Phil Murphy (D) laughed in the face of a man who expressed concern that the statewide shutdown in New Jersey had put an end to gun sales, thereby eliminating the ability to get a firearm for self-defense.
Breitbart News reported the concerned man asking Murphy, “If fewer guns reduce crime, will you give up your personal bodyguards?”
Murphy responded by intimating that he and the citizen had a philosophical difference in the role guns play, with the governor believing “a safer society has fewer guns, not more guns.
And the guns that do exist are in the hands of the right people — particularly trained members of law enforcement.”
The governor then giggled, referenced an armed law enforcement member next to him, and said, “It is what it is.”

The concept of the Law of the Land being changed to suit the people opposed to its specific provisions is simply not acceptable.
The U. S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land here in America. All elected officials and public officials are required to take a specific OATH to “protect and defend the U. S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. All new citizens are also required to take such an oath as well.
The U. S. Constitution can be changed by a specific procedure and these changes are called Amendments. The first 10 Amendments are known as the Bill of Rights and include the 2nd Amendment which is very specific as to the “right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. There is not “BUT” in the Constitution at any place.
President Trump is returning America to the “Rule of Law” as clearly defined in the U. S. Constitution.
God Bless President Trump!
