(Not a litigator) I'd guess that this won't last since it violates state pre-emption. The AG is supposedly on it now.

Backlash from state officials
Lumumba’s executive order received backlash from Republican State Senator Chris McDaniels and the Attorney General of the State Lynn Fitch. McDaniels made a statement on Facebook criticizing Lumumba’s decision. “Mayor Lumumba has no power to trample on the Second Amendment,” McDaniels wrote. "Despite his attempted power grab, he absolutely cannot block legal carry of lawfully owned firearms. Instead of dictating unconstitutional actions, he would be better served to finally repair the city’s potholes, help reduce violent crime against innocent victims, and perhaps balance a budget for a change.”  Attached FileFitch released a statement on Twitter saying that cities do not possess the authority to violate citizens’ Constitutional rights. Lynn Fitch @LynnFitch Cities can't usurp the authority of the State's elected Legislature and violate the Constitutional rights of the people. I support the 2nd Amendment and will enforce the laws of this State.  Attached Filehttps://www.wlbt.com/2020/04/26/jackson-mayor-suspends-open-carry-law-amid-covid-pandemic-receives-backlash/ |

Lol. I’m watching this. Had a fun complaint ready, and then just needed the order, but damn, he is getting his ass reamed by the AG already and some state reps are threatening to withhold funding to Jackson. I’m laughing my ass off. What a dumb idiot. I’ll be on supertalk tomorrow at 11am to discuss his idiocy.

 In response to the decision, the Mississippi Justice Institute filed a lawsuit against Lumumba, arguing that the action is unconstitutional, according to WLBT. "The U.S. Constitution and the Mississippi Constitution protect the right to openly carry firearms in public for self-defense, as do Mississippi statutes. A mayor does not have the authority to override these constitutional rights, even during a state of emergency," reads a statement from the group. "Mississippians should know that when the government tries to take away your constitutional rights, MJI will always be in your corner to help you fight back," said MJI Director Aaron Rice, who added that the crimes have nothing to do with COVID-19, or the right to open-carry a firearm in public for self-defense.

 Attorney General Fitch joins legal battle against Jackson Mayor. Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch filed an amicus curiae, or friend of the court brief, in federal court on Thursday. This filing comes after the Mississippi Justice Institute filed a lawsuit against Jackson Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba over the suspension of the open carry law. General Fitch stated the filing reaffirms the constitutional right to bear arms, supports Mississippi laws that protect that right, and seeks to overturn Jackson’s unlawful order. “Jackson has no authority to suspend open carry and it is shameful to use the current crisis as a pretext to revoke the constitutional rights of the people,” said General Fitch. “I stand ready to protect our rights and defend our laws.” She wrote Mayor Lumumba on Sunday, April 26, demanding that he revoke his order, noting he had no authority to issue it in the first place. The Jackson City Council also disapproves of Mayor Lumumba’s decision. They have sought independent counsel to represent the city in opposition to Mayor Lumumba’s suspension of the state’s open carry law. LINK |

I guess Lumummbles doesn't want the few good people left in Jackson to have a fighting chance against his thugs that have overrun the city.

City council (A defendant) filed a joinder in the AG’s amicus brief and an answer in the case essentially saying that chokwe violated the law.

The fact that there is even a mayor named Chokeweed Lugubrious or whatever his made up bullshit name is, just kills me.

Oh, I know where his (racist) daddy's assumed name came from. I just choose to not to respect his choice of names, because I have zero respect for him or his idiot (racist) son. As far as the lessons of history, those are for people who can actually read, and the vast majority of modern Americans don't fall into that category, unfortunately. I watch a group of 20-somethings sit, enraptured, in front of Sports Center every single day, talking idly about the events of the day, and their cartoonish understanding of history is just painful. Illiteracy, sloth and racism elected Chokwe I and Son of Chokwe. Can't wait to see what comes after. Prezidint Camacho, maybe? |
