The DHS guidelines list as essential:

Workers supporting the manufacturing of safety equipment and uniforms for law enforcement, public safety personnel, and first responders.

Workers supporting the operation of firearm or ammunition product manufacturers, retailers, importers, distributors, and shooting ranges.

Also says this though:

"This list is advisory in nature. It is not, nor should it be considered, a federal directive or standard. Additionally, this advisory list is not intended to be the exclusive list of critical infrastructure sectors, workers, and functions that should continue during the COVID-19 response across all jurisdictions. Individual jurisdictions should add or subtract essential workforce categories based on their own requirements and discretion. "

I think it was more in response to my shithole state (NJ.) When Murphy's admin was pressed on why gun shops aren't essential, they defaulted to "we were just following federal guidelines."

Ha. I just posted that excerpt. Yup. Pretty sweet that he included it, but like a good President, he’s not overreaching with federal power, even when it makes sense to.

This is one of the main reasons why every OP should include a link to the source instead of just a screenshot. A headline can be misleading, and even if it isn't, it never tells the whole story.

This. Unlike libtards, we like to know exactly wtf we're talking about. Especially on an issue this important.
