New Mexico governor issues order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days in response to a spate of gun violence.
How will trampling on the rights of law abiding citizens solve the gun violence?
Lujan Grisham said state police would be responsible for enforcing what amount to civil violations. Albuquerque police Chief Harold Medina said he won’t enforce it, and Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen said he’s uneasy about it because it raises too many questions about constitutional rights.
That is because this “order” is unconstitutional.
The Democratic governor said she expects legal challenges…
Of course the DEMons expect legal challenges to their illegal orders!
Lujan Grisham acknowledged not all law enforcement officials were on board with her decision.
Because it does not go after the criminals and THEIR guns/gun violence, for starters.
“While I understand and appreciate the urgency, the temporary ban challenges the foundation of our constitution, which I swore an oath to uphold,” Allen said. “I am wary of placing my deputies in positions that could lead to civil liability conflicts, as well as the potential risks posed by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from their constitutional right to self-defense.”
But as we have seen in many DEMon controlled states and cities, they care MORE for the criminals than the citizens. This DEMon order only reinforces that the criminals have more rights and privilege then law abiding citizens.
