We'll ignore the rest of the shit for now and focus on:

"Take possession of private property and obtain full title to same"

What?!? Like everything and anything I own? Good luck with that Local/State/Federal Government Civil Servants.

Champaign has had this option in place for 15 years, so this is part of the post-9/11 power grab.
Champaign leaders released a statement Friday evening in response to several false claims circulating online. They reiterated there is currently no firearm ban and no intent to seize property and close businesses.

Some city charters are old and haven't been tested in court, don't know how old Champaign's is.

New Orleans mayor authorizes ability to ban gun sales during coronavirus emergency if city desires
The city of New Orleans, La. issued an emergency declaration over the coronavirus that gives the city the emergency authority to limit or ban outright the sale or transportation of firearms, explosives or combustibles during the emergency period.

Democratic New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell added a proclamation to the emergency declaration on Monday that allows for limits on the sale and transportation of firearms and other items deemed a potential safety threat within her jurisdiction.

“The emergency authority is hereby empowered, if necessary, to suspend or limit the sale, dispensing, or transporting of alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives and combustibles,” the proclamation reads.
Accurate title. "...authority to limit or ban...," meaning not a ban but rather a potential to ban. The infowars crowd keeps getting it wrong. Regardless, this is not a positive development.

Most definitely unconstitutional on several counts. I expect the city to get sued by the ACLU in real short order.
I wish. My impression is that the ACLU has really lost any interest in 2A. I'm not a great student of that issue, so if there's evidence to the contrary, please point me to it!
