"And just like that"

[Destroyer]

California last week passed an order allowing the government to take over hotels, motels and private buildings to shelter people infected with the Covid-19 virus. "And just like that" we lost our 3rd amendment rights.
"No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in manner to be prescribed by law".(The courts have held that seizing another person property either temporarily or permanently without due compensation is a violation of the 3rd amendment).

New Jersey and several other states have made it illegal to sell guns and ammo while the shelter in place order is in effect. (Selling liquor and drugs is ok, that's "essential", but selling guns so people can protect themselves from looters isn't). "and just like that" we lost our 2nd amendment rights.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Several states have passed or are in the process of passing "shelter in place" laws... (Can you say Martial law)? "and just like that" we lost our 1st amendment rights.
(Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances).

So our 1st, 2nd and 3rd amendment rights are gone, in order to "protect" us. I wonder how long it will be before we lose the others? Yes, I'm sure that after the virus pandemic dies down we'll have those rights restored, but I'm just posting this to show you how fragile those rights are and how easily we can lose them... all under the guise of protecting us. (Nothing could be further from the truth). It's all about controlling us. Think about it, next time you hear someone talking about how good Socialism or Communism is....
