Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen signed the executive order on Thursday declaring a state of emergency for the city. That executive order, which is in line with municipal code, comes with extraordinary powers for the mayor to enact over a short period of time as the city combats the spread of the coronavirus.

Continued:

Among the powers Feinen gained after signing the executive order was the power to ban the sale of guns, ammunition, alcohol, and gasoline. Feinen could also cut off access to individuals’ gas, water, or electricity. The city also has the ability to “take possession of private property” or order the temporary closing of all bars or liquor stores.

According to the former 2020 Democrat frontrunner and soon-to-be three-time failed presidential candidate Joe Biden, his statement is accurate.

150 million people, all dead – from guns, since 2017.

The guy also said he’s coming after gun manufacturers if he’s elected. So, you’re safe, gun manufacturers.

The "Moderators" are as dumb and useless as the candidates.

It's clear they can't fact check in realtime or anytime for that matter.

I caught that and thought that I was mistaken, the lies are big on the stage tonight!

Joe Biden just said that 150 million Americans have been killed in gun violence since 2007. That’s a little less than half of our population. The guy’s a complete nut job.

Between that and net neutrality it’s a miracle any of us are still alive.

There should be more houses for sale then. A lot of abandoned cars also.

I wondered where all of those people went.

Did Joe mean to say 1.5 million? Still a lot, obviously, but not even sorta kinda close to 150 million.
