SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — 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 the midst of a spate of gun violence.

The Democratic governor said she is expecting legal challenges but felt compelled to act in response to gun deaths, including the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.

The firearms suspension is tied to a threshold for violent crime rates that only the Albuquerque area currently meets. Police and licensed security guards are exempt from the temporary ban.

ABQ is a gun free zone for 30 days. I bet gun crimes increase during those 30 days?

Those that deny citizens of their rights should be permanently removed from American society with a one way trip to the nether reaches.

Too much criminal activity to let non-criminals carry guns.

After the criminals dial it back, we can talk.

Asspress writes this like a weather report. But privately they are smiling and clicking their heels.

If a conservative were to do this, the leftist communist Democrats would say that person is acting like a dictator. Well? (Crickets)

Will the NRA try to do anything about it? If I were them, I’d be going nuts, suing that commie governor.

New Mexico’s Governor just said her duty to uphold her oath to the constitution is “not absolute”

Stupid woke goobernor. Glad I moved out of state 20 years ago. Democrat-Nazi rule made me very nervous.

I wonder what the *itch governor would do if thousands of people defied this clearly unconstitutional order and gathered on the streets all armed.

Because honest law-abiding citizens are the ones responsible for all the criminal activity in Albuquerque.

When it comes to firearms, Dung Beetle far-left politicians are the dumbest creatures on earth.

There is no more ‘gun violence’ in Alb than usual and those responsible aren’t legal carriers open or otherwise anyway. This is a trial run to test the legal waters.

This edict is only proof that every citizen NEEDS a gun.

Giving criminals the upper hand over law abiding, legal gun owners. Yup. Typical liberal mentality.
