New Mexico state Republicans file impeachment articles against Dem governor over gun control

Two Republican state lawmakers in New Mexico filed a resolution Wednesday to impeach Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, accusing her of breaking her oath to the U.S. Constitution over her use of emergency public health orders to restrict the right to carry firearms in some public places.

Reps. Stefani Lord and John Block claim that with the restriction, Lujan Grisham infringed upon the rights of New Mexicans.

"The rights of New Mexicans are not up for debate, and no matter how hard Lujan Grisham tries to violate the Constitution, she will never succeed," Lord said in a statement. "I stood firm against her tyranny when she tried to use a Covid health order to take our guns, and I will continue to stand firm against her continued attempts to destroy our Republic." Lujan Grisham, a second-term Democrat, invoked the emergency orders last year in response to a spate of gun violence, including the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium. The orders restrict firearms in places like parks and playgrounds in the greater Albuquerque area.

Block accused the governor of "violating the Constitution to make a political statement," noting that Lujan Grisham said she expected legal challenges from the outset.

In the federal court system, a judge has allowed enforcement of the gun provision to continue while legal challenges run their course.

In response to the impeachment articles, Lujan Grisham spokesperson Maddy Hayden said in an email to The Associated Press that the two lawmakers are more interested in political stunts than crafting meaningful legislation, citing their bills to criminalize necrophilia and offer sex offenders an early release from prison if they agree to chemical castration procedures.

Correct - that's an automatic disqualification for office if there ever was one.

I live in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and our borough assembly just voted this week to encourage all eligible residents to own firearms and ammunition. Not that I needed any encouragement.

Republicans in legislatures never use their power to impeach fascist Rats.

That’s why they did it. If there was a chance or they would get the blame if it failed they wouldn’t have done it.

“Santa Fe would place new limitations on assault-style weapons aimed at reducing a shooter’s ability to fire off DOZENS OF ROUNDS A SECOND and attach new magazines to keep firing.”

This from a different article
These people are retarded.
The limitations on such
capable weapons are already
in place.

“…. citing their bills to criminalize necrophilia and offer sex offenders an early release from prison if they agree to chemical castration procedures.”

Is the Governette’s spokesfrump implying tha having sex with dead people should be legal and sex offenders need to serve their full sentence?

I’m confused.

If an AW ban sticks maybe they will go after lever action rifles next. The Evans lever action rifle held 26 rounds in 1880. California went for them with their first draft of an AW ban in 1989.
