Ned Lamont of Connecticut, a Democrat with an &#8220;F&#8221; rating from the NRA, for example, declared gun shops &#8220;essential&#8221; businesses. and allowed them to remain open.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nation&#8217;s gun lobby was quick to applaud Gov. Lamont.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour NRA would like to thank Gov. Lamont for upholding the right of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves and their loved ones,\u201d said the NRA-ILA, in a statement.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/ammo-makers-covid-19-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"map-shows-states-that-have-shuttered-gun-stores\" title=\"Map Shows States That Have Shuttered Gun Stores\">Ammo Makers, Gun Manufacturers Issue Statements Responding to COVID-19 Crisis<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Second Amendment Foundation is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/saf-sues-nj-governor-for-deprivation-of-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"map-shows-states-that-have-shuttered-gun-stores\" title=\"Map Shows States That Have Shuttered Gun Stores\">actively suing New Jersey <\/a>for shutting down its background check system, arguing that the decision to do so flatly prohibits the sale and purchase of firearms and ammunition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAF is also putting together lawsuits against Washington, Massachusetts and jurisdictions in California and North Carolina, among others.  Sending out the signal that if you shut down FFLs you&#8217;re going to get sued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps that&#8217;s why Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/pennsylvania-forced-closure-of-gun-shops\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"map-shows-states-that-have-shuttered-gun-stores\" title=\"Map Shows States That Have Shuttered Gun Stores\">reversed course this week<\/a>, revising his \u201cstay at home\u201d order to allow gun shops to conduct firearm transfers.
