The Trump administration has designated the firearm industry, to include retailers, a part of the nation's critical infrastructure during the COVID-19 pandemic. While this does place the industry on the Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's list of critical infrastructure, from which it was initially absent, the designation is still just advisory. As such, it does not override determinations by individual jurisdictions concerning what each may consider critical infrastructure. For more on the story, check out WGNTV.com.
