The Second Amendment Is ‘Essential’ Apr 06, 2020

Show notes

States all over America are mandating nonessential businesses close, which is forcing lawmakers to decide what businesses should and should not be deemed “essential.” In states like New York and Massachusetts, gun stores have already been told to close their doors. In Texas, on the other hand, the attorney general has said gun stores can remain open during the pandemic.

Cam Edwards, Editor of BrearingArms.Com, joins The Daily Signal podcast to explain why gun shops should be considered essential businesses and how the coronavirus has affected firearm sales.
