The NRA, Second Amendment Foundation, California Gun Rights Coalition, and Firearms Policy Conference filed a suit Friday against California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), pointing to gun store closures to claim state and local policies and enforcement measures are violating Second and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
The suit also names Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, who has been vocal about his plans to shut down gun stores.
In compliance with @CAgovernor 's Executive Order, Gun & ammunition stores are not considered essential businesses, and will cease to sell to the general public, there are some exceptions.

The NRA-ILA’s Jason Ouimet commented on the suit, saying:
Municipalities and states that target lawful gun stores for closure aren’t promoting safety. By weaponizing their politics to disarm you and your loved ones, these shameless partisans are wantonly promoting a gun-control agenda that suffocates your Second Amendment rights when you need them most. NRA members recognize these unlawful power-grabs for what they are, and the National Rifle Association is proud to stand and fight alongside fellow Second Amendment groups who recognize it as well.
