Corona Alert: Gov't to ban gun, liquor, gas sales



Say Goodbye to Your Rights


(WND)  -  In the Illinois city of Champaign, home to the University of Illinois, an executive order gives the mayor an unprecedented level of power that would allow for, among other things, the suspension of the sales of ammunition and firearms.

According to WAND-TV, Champaign Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen announced the executive order because of the novel coronavirus.

In addition to allowing the mayor to ban the sales of guns and ammunition, the executive order lets her restrict the sale and distribution of food and water as well as take the title to private property.

The executive order also lets her ban the sale of liquor and would allow the mayor to shut down liquor stores and bars.

WAND reported that the Champaign Municipal Code permits the mayor to suspend certain liberties for a limited period in times of emergency.

The executive order allows the mayor to suspend parts of the state's Open Meetings Act. It also bans the sale of gas "or other liquid flammable or combustible products" unless it goes directly into your vehicle's gas tank.

Other provisions are more sinister.

For instance, the mayor's office can shut off water, power, gas and other utilities. It can also close bars and taverns, as well as liquor stores.

The two most dire provisions, however, would allow the mayor to declare a ban on the sale of firearms and ammunition, as well as obtain the title to private property "as may be necessary to deal with a disaster or emergency."
