In the lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of New York, the NRA claimed that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has"effectively and indefinitely suspended a key component of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution" by forcing gun stores across the state to temporarily shutter their doors.
"The NRA sued the Democratic governor in both his official and personal capacity, as well as New York's Empire State Development agency and its acting commissioner. A spokeswoman for Cuomo didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.Read More"By closing federally licensed dealers, Defendants have cut off the only way of legally purchasing firearms in the State," the lawsuit says.
Fucking unbelievable the NRA and its bloodthirsty Leaders and the shameful Republicans they have bought!
Tune well spent- NRA is garbage
Ugh
Sue away, NRA. Arguing that guns stores are an essential business in the world of COVID-19 is both asinine and appalling. Medical providers are essential. Pharmacies are essential. Food outlets are essential. Guns and ammo? Not so much. New York got it right. Very right.
Yes and they should win.
Come on Gov. How do you expect the gun nuts to shoot the virus if you close the gun shops.
How are we going to shoot the virus when it tries to enter our homes?
I mean... we really should have seen this coming
They are non essential
wow, stupidity is spreading in the States.
The nra kills children
NRA has no moral compass.
So go to the store and buy a gun and become a murderer. That's essentially what the NRA is saying. Don't stay in your home, don't worry about spreading disease and killing people, just get yer gun. I think DNA tests need to be done on all NRA members because they are inbreeding
Good. Go for it! Lol!
Remember what party and Presidential candidate supports this unabated nonsense when you vote.
As a Second Amendment supporter and proud gun owner and carrier the NRA, if left unchecked, will maneuver their opinions into becoming a dangerous entity within the foundational order of the Constitution. The Governor has every legal right to do what he has deemed necessary.
They’re a disgrace.
Courts are closed so there!!! NRA go suck it!!!
According to the Constitution, they are.
BRING. IT.
That’s right. Allow citizens to arm themselves. I know a boatload of Democrats are buying guns to be safe in case things hit the fan.
Only in the U.S. of Murica.
Seems like a good time to do it.
Essential? Where are these stores? Downtown Kabul?
How are legal citizens gonna protect them from desperate criminals
They were planning on shooting the virus dead? Give me a break!
The last thing we need is gun mixed in this mess!
The NRA and Evangelical Christians are the two biggest terrorist organizations in America.
Oh ffs! 🙄 of course they did.
Are you people really stupid enough to think that it’s for the virus? If so you’re the reason why there’s warning labels on just about everything 🤦🏽♂️
As long as CNN can publish trash (1st amendment) then law abiding citizens can obtain and keep firearms (2nd amendment)
Screw them. Just another corrupt corporation buying the government. A disgrace to the nation, and nothing to do with the constitution.
👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻
NY should counter sue NRA for wasting NY money and time in time of crisis
New York guns law suck and so does most liberals. I hope NRA wins....
Always fighting for their own profits before anything else. It is no surprise that this corporate death cult cares not for the rule of law nor the health of our nation. The NRA are evil incarnate.
Keep up the great work NRA 👍👍👍
NRA get out of the way
Do Americans need guns for healing CoronaVirus?
Because panicked people and guns are the NRA's wet dream.
Morons think they can shoot coronavirus when it comes at them
Good 4 NY standing up to the terrorist organization NRA - many other states backed down to avoid lawsuits !!
When hearing such news, I really feel I’m happy to be born in Japan.
therealjavalily God bless the constitution of the USA and those who defend it.
Surely! covid19 is enough! He will do the job!!
My guns my choice ProChoice
Just tell them if they are essential business, they need to pay taxes...no more free loading on the States
Go away NRA...
Mental Illness
Are people going to shoot the virus.
What’s their argument
The NRA = clinging for relevance. And they’ll probably succeed.
I hope NY sues them back.
Only this whiny bunch would sue during a pandemic. 🙄
They make you hunker down in your home. They unleash criminals upon you. They want you disarmed and unable to defend yourself. These Democrats want you dead. COVID19
Iranu
Good
Stupid
How else are people supposed to defend against the virus?!!
fuck 'em they represent less than 3% of the votes
What a quality group if people the NRA are!
Liquor stores open but not gun stores
Thank you NRA, fighting for American's rights! Keep up the good work!
Where did the NRA get the money to sue anyone? Didn’t that corrupted non-profit give all their money to Trump and Republicans and lay off their staff? They can’t call Russia for more laundered money, huh?
You know the virus can't be SHOT right? Idk what shotgun shells will do against it anyways... NRA Are Fucking Dumbasses
