The National Rifle Association (NRA) has sued the governors of New York and California for deeming gun stores as “non-essential” and requiring them to close as part of state measures to control the spread of the CCP virus.

The gun rights association filed its latest lawsuit against New York on Thursday alleging that its governor Andrew Cuomo’s order to suspend the operations of gun stores by not designating them as “essential businesses” is in violation of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
