The city later issued several clarifications, saying that its initial order had"been misconstrued" and that it would never take action to"violate anyone's civil liberties." For example, in 2012, John Teixeira of California sued Alameda county because it refused to grant him a permit to open a gun dealership. An appellate court in 2017 said that his Second Amendment rights had not been violated simply because he was not permitted to open the shop in a residential area.

After Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city of New Orleans, the police superintendent, P. Edwin Compass III, announced a complete ban on firearms ownership. The police department went door to door in order to confiscate firearms, over fears of looting, robberies and otherwise mischievous behavior. In Los Angeles on Tuesday, County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said that gun stores were not considered essential and had to shutter. Then he reversed course, announcing these stores would be indeed be allowed to remain open, only to backtrack once more and demand that they close down.
