According to Firearm Chronicles
The idea of a city in California taking an anti-gun stand at any given opportunity. We’ve seen it through countless bits of legislation at the state and local levels of California’s government. They don’t like guns, despite the massive increase in gun ownership in recent days.
For Fresno city officials, though, the COVID-19 virus was just too good of a crisis to allow it to go to waste.
The City of Fresno has now declared a “state of emergency”, and doing so grants the city wide-ranging powers under its “Emergency Services Ordinance”. Fox26 News asked for and got a copy of the full ordinance. Among other things, after an emergency declaration, it allows the city to:
1. Suspend the sale of firearms and ammo.
2. Suspend the sale of alcohol.
3. Order a general curfew.
4. Order the closing of all taverns.
5. Order a price or rate freeze on consumer goods and on hotels if lodging is limited.
7. Order a halt to gasoline sales, except as fuel pumped into vehicles’ gasoline tanks.
8. Order the closing of any business where crowds “tend to gather”, including theaters, amusement areas, gyms, stadiums, etc.
