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.
The declaration came after a shooting in which an 11-year-old boy was killed near the Isotopes Park in Albuquerque. Police said the incident appeared to be a case of road rage, the fifth such fatal incident in 2023.
Oh, yeah, that’ll help....NOT!
The criminals will definitely abide...S
Well that’s a novel idea. Too bad for her it’s blatantly unconstitutional.
This should be in the Babylon Bee.
And that will stop people from carrying guns in what way exactly?
So a governor
can recind the 2nd amendment
with an e.o. now ?
( I bet the illegal invaders still get to carry )
What idiot is going to pay attention to the Stupid tyrant Democrat?
Unconstitutional dictator levels of treasonous corruption right there.
The governor should be hauled out of office immediately.
Make New Mexico Mexico Again!
Why didn’t he ban criminals and murder?
SHE, my bad.
Carry anyway.
Free men don’t ask - nor need - permission from public servants to exercise their right.
If we’re to call ourselves free men, we should damn well act like it
Time to wake up sleepy heads. The democrat party is the enemy.
They get away with this, the DimoCommunists will start declaring this crap all over the place. Thank GOD that I live in a state where we actually have laws that our people obey, I.E., we now have the new law that you don’t need a license to carry in Alabama. Of course, criminal cannot legally carry, only we law abiding citizens. If you plan to carry out of state, you need a license to carry. We have ours so that we can carry when we leave Alabama, going to GA used to be one of our trips, to the North GA mountains. But, with what GA is becoming we don’t plan to spend our money over there any longer.
Let her come enforce it.
In NM, not a problem...
Marxism blooms, wildly, throughout the state...
