U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Across the nation, COVID-19 is exposing all manner of tyrants, with mayors, governors, and judges believing their powers are without limitations. This is exceptionally true with Obama appointee Judge Andre’ Birotte of the Federal District Court in the Central District of California. He recently denied a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent local governments from closing gun stores. The TRO was requested by several 2nd Amendment organizations in response to both the City and County of Los Angeles’ inconsistent actions regarding what businesses are considered “essential” and which are not.
