Looks like firearm sales are being halted in NJ

Looks like the right to bear arms is being infringed in NJ.

I brought that up in the Coronavirus thread: https://www.ar-15.co/threads/177078-Corona-virus?p=2265083&viewfull=1#post2265083

Wasn't pointing to NJ specifically, but that's one of the ones I read specifically.

In many states, if they're not being shutdown, the delays have grown almost as long as the length of this physical distancing exercise.

Nope. The link you posted didn?t mention anything about any additional restrictions on its citizens in regards to whatever limited rights they currently have to keep or bear arms.

All non-essential businesses are being closed not just the gun stores. Gun shops/FFL aren?t an essential business for the daily function of society so therefore they are being closed.

I suppose if you really want to be a paranoid negative Nancy then I guess a temporary closure of gun stores infringes on the second amendment by temporarily limiting access to new firearms?

In a state where only grocery stores are medical facilities remain open, it should instead be grocery stores, medical facilities, and gun stores?

I believe the Gov. of Illinois has defined gun stores as being 'essential'. That surprised me.

Doesn't surprise me too much, I'd imagine whether one considers gun stores essential or not they also know that gun people are just itching for a legal confrontation on any perceived 2A issues and likely don't want the hassle. Don't know that I'd be hanging around there though, first time buyers who may or may not have been following social distancing guidelines combined with a regular group that tends to skew older is a great combination for transmission.

I don't know why anyone would want to live in Jersey anyway, it's mostly swampland and savannahs. North Jersey is some pretty country however.
