ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday issued an emergency public health order that suspends the open and permitted concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque for 30 days in the midst of a spate of gun violence.

The Democratic governor said she is expecting legal challenges but felt compelled to act in response to gun deaths, including the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.

The firearms suspension is tied to a threshold for violent crime rates that only the Albuquerque area currently meets. Police are exempt from the temporary ban on carrying firearms.
Lujan Grisham said the restrictions “are going to pose incredible challenges for me as a governor and as a state.”

I'm sure the criminals will abide

So she made Albuquerque one big gun free zone!!! Because criminals obey laws and gun free signs. I've been there many times and was always a good time, but so was Seatle before all the riots.

One thing democrats know—law fare.

Act first. Then let the very slow wheels of justice undo what they did…if they ever do.

Is she friends with Hogsett and Shreve?

Hey kids! What time is it?





Time for a new governor!

So, in an emergency, the government can just throw out all the rules, and do what they want.


Oh right.
After this last decade, I guess that's what the voters have allowed.

This is exactly what we told people would be the consequence of supporting and complying with covid emergency orders. Now all the left's stupid BS obsessions will be enforced via arbitrary public health orders from on high.

When you give leftists power, they use it.

Agreed (politicians in general). There should be personal penalties for politicians that put in place executive orders, etc that blatantly are unconstitutional.

"The right of the citizens to keep, and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist, and triumph over them." Justice Joseph Story

Is it time yet?

SO do we get to laugh and point when in 30 days the crime/death rate goes up, not down?

Thought the same thing when I read @Kurr ’s post at 8 pm.

 

[KokomoDave]

Actually it will rise in these 30 days since all the sheeple will leave their gats at home. The good guys will still carry as will the bad guys. Only sheep will go without...

While we are really really good at name calling and posting meme's , sadly you gotta hand it to the dems. They always act vs us always reacting.

Where is our side, with a judge putting a legal stop to this?

 

[daddyusmaximus]

Just like in the old westerns... Check your guns when you come to town.

Anti 2A crap never did work.
Bad guys never listened.
Didn't then... won't now.

They take an oath of office to uphold the Constitution. Sadly their constituents very seldom hold them liable. I personally would like to see an all-expense paid trip to Guantanamo Bay for any politician that violates their oath of office. If we the people enact stiffer penalties than our government would be a lot less corrupt.

You have just hit the nail on the head: there are never consequences. Violating the Constitutional Rights of American Citizens? Penalties should be swift and severe.

 

[wtburnette]

Yep, all that will happen is taxpayer money will be wasted on the eventual lawsuits. She should be held personally liable. That would stop idiot politicians from passing laws that have no hope of not being overturned due to little things like the fact it's a constitutionally protected right...
