Mayor of Illinois town signs order giving her power to ban guns and alcohol over coronavirus

Who the heck voted for this dimwit mayor of a town in Illinois who thought it was a great idea to sign an executive order granting her the power to ban alcohol and GUNS over coronavirus?! From the Washington Examiner:

Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen signed the executive order on Thursday declaring a state of emergency for the city. That executive order, which is in line with municipal code, comes with extraordinary powers for the mayor to enact over a short period of time as the city combats the spread of the coronavirus.

Among the powers Feinen gained after signing the executive order was the power to ban the sale of guns, ammunition, alcohol, and gasoline. Feinen could also cut off access to individuals’ gas, water, or electricity. The city also has the ability to “take possession of private property” or order the temporary closing of all bars or liquor stores.

Jeff Hamilton, the city’s manager, told WAND, “The executive order allows the city to be flexible to properly respond to the emergency needs of our community. None of the options will necessarily be implemented but are available in order to protect the welfare and safety of our community if needed.”

HUH?! What a doofus. SOME of us buy guns for exactly this kind of situation! If law and order breaks down because of a virus, why should we trust in the government to protect us? Yah, I trust this mayor as far as I can throw her, which ain’t far, let me tell you.

I saw a ton of liberals mocking Trump for advocating tax cuts as a response to coronavirus, but if that was using a disaster in order to further a political agenda, what the heck is this!? Might as well toss in forced abortions too!!
