Never let a serious crisis go to waste

Second time I have used that quote in two days - from Obama's henchman and Chief of Staff

This example from San Jose, CA's The Mercury News:

Coronavirus: San Jose orders gun store to close in one of first enforcement against businesses open under shelter order
As Bay Area business owners navigated the labyrinthine rules of the sweeping shelter-in-place order implemented Monday, many gun dealers across the region opted to stay open this week, amid a spike in sales apparently driven by fears over the coronavirus pandemic.

But after customers lined up around gun stores in several counties Tuesday — including outside the Bullseye Bishop in San Jose — San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo declared that “gun stores are non-essential.”

Tyrants do not like their citizenry to be armed. I am reminded of this quote:

'Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look back upon the Act depriving the whole nation of arms as the blackest.'
-- Gandhi, Mohandas K. "Mahatma", An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth, tr. Mahadev Desai, Part V., Ch. XXVII
