Lost me at infowars.com, a news source for halfwits, but I suspect this NOLA situation is like the emergency powers the mayor of Champaign, Illinois enacted via EO (
And just like that... city in Illinois uses the Coronavirus to heighten Gun Control methods), wherein for 15 years there has been a law on the books enabling the mayor to do this. It's a power-grab that was implemented following 9/11, and I suspect many cities/towns in the US have adopted the same text unbeknownst to local residents. The powers include a bullet-point list of things she
could prohibit, but had
not prohibited as of the signing of the order. So the fault, at least in Champaign, really lies with the morons who were in city government in 2005-2006, and is demonstrative of what you get when you pass laws based on feelings.
Thus in NOLA--as in Champaign--it is not a ban, but an order allowing the mayor _to_ ban <all_the_things>.
