New Mexico governor issues order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency public health order temporarily suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County.

In a move sure to cause criminals using guns to refrain from doing so, the NM Governor has decided the 2nd Amendment can simply be ignored.

Perhaps ignoring the First Amendment provision for the Freedom of Assembly is next, to put gangbangers in place.

It's so much easier to govern as a monarch.

Hopefully the disloyal subjects of NM will teach the Queen a lesson in Civics and recall her.

Interestingly, even some of the strongest gun control folks don't agree with this move for sane reasons.

Ted Lieu D-CA--"I support gun safety laws. However, this order from the Governor of NM violates the U.S. Constitution. No state in the union can suspend the federal Constitution. There is no such thing as a public health emergency exception to the U. S. Constitution."

Not after Bruen.

This is the type of thing that the tyrants in our midst

loved about COVID. Declare something a "state of emergency" as an excuse to rule by decree and to he.l.l with the rule of law, legislative processes and public debate. The whole COVID hysteria emboldened these azzhats and for far too long others in the State Governments went along with it. Good on the Albuquerque police Chief for refusing to enforce this stupid order from the Governor.

Also - the old "“If it saves one life, then it’s worth doing" is once again being used to excuse the tyrannical behavior of a politician. That trite phrase is a pure play to emotion instead of reasoned thought. The "if it saves one life" argument could be used to justify getting rid of cars, alcohol, and darn near every modern convenience in our society. The moment you hear anyone say "if it saves just one life" you know they are full of shid and have no real justification for whatever draconian idiocy they seek to impose on other law abiding citizens.
