Gun control don't go 'round here, law dogs!

...anti-gun members of the Albuquerque City Council are calling for MORE GUN CONTROL!
That's right. This week, the Council's Finance & Government Operations Committee advanced Resolution 20-68 by Councilmembers Isaac Benton and Diane Gibson, which calls on the New Mexico Legislature to rewrite Article II, Section 6 (the Right to Keep and Bear Arms provision) of the New Mexico Constitution, rip out the state firearms preemption clause and put that enormously-significant change to a popular vote. The full Council will consider the resolution in the coming weeks.
Preemption prevents a patchwork of different local firearms rules and regulations across the state. It helps ensure uniformity in gun laws wherever you live, work or travel, so that law-abiding citizens don't unknowingly run afoul of confusing and conflicting local gun restrictions. If gun control advocates get their way, New Mexico could become one of only five states in the nation without this important protection. Cities like Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces would be free to pass whatever type of gun control they wanted — gun bans, magazine limits, licensing and registration schemes, prohibitions on carrying firearms on your person or in your car — restrictions far beyond anything the New Mexico Legislature has already done or will do to your Second Amendment rights in the future.

We need to control those white supremacists ya know
No human being has the moral right even to try and restrict the right to KBA.
Gun control don't go 'round here, law dogs!
That’s where Norton saw a yellow bellied sap sucker
NM conservatives. Keep exposing and opposing the NM Marxists and that shit for brains governor Grisham. By creating a 2nd Amendment support movement with teeth, it will hurt the gun-seizing Biden and Harris presidential campaign.
Take the war to the Democrat enemy and show them no mercy.
This is what happens when liberals move to a nicer clime and take their idiotic ideas, that created the mess they left, and impose them on their new, pristine home. And that home will soon be like the one they fouled and left.
This is the latest tactic of the left. Propose a constitutional amendment for a popular vote to get things the legislature won’t pass/governor won’t sign. It happened here in conservative MO with right to work and a couple of weeks ago with Medicaid expansion.
I believe the same thing is going on with restrictive gun laws in other states. Get it on the ballot, flood the media with advertising, and voila, it is now a constitutional amendment that has to be followed.
This is all a result of the Wisconsin Plan started by ‘Progressives’ at the early part of the 20th century. Let the people vote on laws and state constitutional amendments.
WTFIIWNM?
Looks like they took that left turn at Albuquerque.
They also need to extend the 5-second rule to 30-seconds and a background checks for all microbes trying to illegally obtain food!
NM Ping list.
And given the people who run NM right now, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this happens.
Let the citizens vote by mail to be certain it comes out commie correct.
A package store down south is a liquor store. Odd name, yes.
Patriots are reminded that the states have given Congress the express 14th Amendment (14A) power to make penal laws that discourage state actors, arguably misguided voters in this example, from abridging constitutionally enumerated rights, 2A protections in this example.
From the 14th Amendment:
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 above, had included 2A when he read the Bill of Rights as main examples of constitutionally enumerated protections that 14A applies to the states.
John Bingham, Congressional Globe. (See 2nd Amendment (Article II) about in middle of 2nd column.)
H O W E V E R…
We are still stuck with a worthless, corrupt Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration that will predictably much popcorn while watching CNN show reluctant NM law enforcement officials demanding that NM citizens surrender their firearms.
The remedy for constitutionally failed federal and state governments…
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting pro-2A PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
Also regarding 14A:
UC Berkeley relatively recently had to pay compensation under 14A concerning the abridgment of 1st Amendment free speech protections.
UC Berkeley settles landmark free speech lawsuit, will pay $70,000 to conservative group
Problem is that taxpayers, not Berkeley offending state actors, will probably pay compensation.
Patriots who value their constitutionally enumerated protections of freedom of religious expression and free speech, consider that Acts 22:25-29 shows that Apostle Paul got out of a flogging by claiming his Roman citizenship.
The artsy-fartsy leftists in Albuquerque and Las Cruses act as if the rather large native American reservation lands within their state do not exist.
