Guns are a necessity for some, but are they essential business?
One state lawmaker is asking Attorney General Ken Paxton to determine
just that: whether firearm retailers are "essential businesses" that
should stay open during shelter-in-place orders meant to stop the spread of the
novel coronavirus.
The question comes as the coronavirus pandemic has prompted people in
North Texas to buy guns or stock up on ammunition. Since
COVID-19 began spreading in the United States, sales of ammunition in Texas
surged by over 800%, according to a report by online retailer Ammo.com.
