Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday announced a new public health order that, she said, will ban people from carrying firearms, either open or concealed, in Albuquerque and throughout Bernalillo County for the next 30 days, regardless of whether they have a permit.

Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, issued an executive order Thursday evening declaring gun violence a public health emergency.

During a news conference Friday, she said she expects legal challenges to the public health order and expressed uncertainty about whether the order would prevail in court.

The order states "no person, other than a law enforcement officer or licensed security officer, shall possess a firearm ... either openly or concealed, with cities or counties averaging 1,000 or more violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year since 2021."

The order applies only to the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, Lujan Grisham said, and can only be enforced by New Mexico State Police, whose presence in the state's largest city would be "significant" over the next month.

Violating the order would likely be a misdemeanor, Lujan Grisham said, and it will have no bearing on private property or at a licensed gun dealer.

Hey, maybe she could ban legal counsel for criminal defendants to clear off all those pesky cases piling up.

[House Atreides]

Damn… the existence of the US constitution is a public health emergency now. Gotta love DemocRATS.

I'm sure those lovable gang-bangers, drug dealers (but I repeat myself), and sex traffickers will promptly obey this edict and leave their gats at home.

Dictator.

Democrat governors are a “public health emergency” because they leave you defenseless.

They are working 24/7/365 on making people like you and I criminals. By then they will have done away with Legal Representation for criminal As soon as Trump is disposed defendants. Then they will focus their attention on getting rid of us./p>

Another reason not to put women in these positions.

she should be sued for passing a ‘law’ which ENDANGERS citizens by taking their right to self defense away!!!

[Celerity]

Agree. Also, she can’t do that.

Is anyone complying?
