COVID-19 Threatens Health…of Second Amendment
<[link removed]>
Our nation continues to struggle with the widespread impact of the
COVID-19 virus. By now, everyone should be aware of the new “social
distancing” paradigm, where we are all encouraged to avoid large
groups of people, and maintain at least six feet of distance between
each other when we do interact. Regular washing of our hands—which
we should have been doing already—is now the norm, and anyone caught
coughing or sneezing outside of the confines of their own elbow is at
risk of being labeled a pariah.

While the nation continues to struggle with the effects of the
COVID-19 outbreak, we have seen countless reports of various sectors

Pandemic Exposes Dangers of So-Called "Universal" Background Checks
<[link removed]>
As the COVID-19 pandemic makes its way across the country, Americans
are getting an important lesson in the dangers of a placing a prior
restraint on the exercise of a constitutional right. The vast increase
in those seeking protection in the Second Amendment during this period
of uncertainty has caused the FBI's National Instant Criminal
Background Check System (NICS) and Point of Contact State background
check systems to buckle. Worse, some jurisdictions that have
criminalized the private transfer of firearms have also shut down
access to guns stores or their state criminal background check system.
This lethal combination of misguided policies has made it impossible
for millions of Americans to acquire, or even borrow or lend, firearms
during this moment of crisis.
