Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in and around Albuquerque will spur a legal fight...
...
Indeed, the first challenge surfaced Saturday afternoon in a federal lawsuit filed by Albuquerque resident Foster Allen Haines in conjunction with the National Association for Gun Rights, or NAGR, claiming that Lujan Grisham's order is unconstitutional and seeking damages.
"Nothing else to say really, just that the NAGR and Mr. Haines represent thousands of New Mexicans that are not going to put up with tyranny," Timothy White, the attorney who filed the case, told the Journal.
Both New Mexico Senate and House Republicans on Saturday vowed to file lawsuits of their own challenging the order.
And two Albuquerque-area representatives in the Legislature by Saturday evening were calling for Lujan Grisham's impeachment.
One of those representatives, Stefani Lord of Sandia Park, announced a rally in support of the Second Amendment on Sunday in Old Town.

New Mexico Constitution, Article II - Bill of Rights, § 6 Right to bear arms. No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms. (As amended November 2, 1971 and November 2, 1986.)
The local sheriff, Sheriff John Allen, Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office, is out with the following on Twitter: " I have reservations regarding this order. While I understand and appreciate the urgency, the temporary ban challenges the foundation of our Constitution, which I swore an oath to uphold. I am wary of placing my deputies in positions that could lead to civil liability conflicts, as well as the potential risks posed by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from their constitutional right to self-defense."

I am betting this unconstitutional overreach gets stopped within the next 72 hours.
Isn’t she one of da hos that says Republicans are trying to destroy her “democrazy”?
A fire fight would get the point across in a day.
A half dozen federal judges have immediately (even within 1 day) ordered that child-grooming drag shows much be held and cannot be stopped. Why hasn’t this illegal order already been declared null and void?
Our constitutional rights to self-protection are receiving less court protection than what demonic pedophiles receive.
With protests set for tomorrow, will law enforcement stand idle or will the violate their oaths?
They didn't "expand" anything. They stated what one aspect of the 2A obviously is. For the benefit of morons like this guy.
Well make it our abortion issue. They are taking guns away ! 2nd amendment rights.
I’m surprised that there might be any Democrats left that have firearms as they would be conflicted with the party leadership undermining and blatently violating the second amendment.
So you are reminded that the entire Covid plandemic was just a kind of practice run. These illegal acts can take years to work through the legal system IF YOU ARE A CONSERVATIVE fighting the Uniparty and DeepState.
Must be the objective is to create more hysteria about shootings, to support future antigun legislation, rather than actually being expected to withstand constitutional scrutiny.
It would be nice if a court would respond to the overreach by declaring all local and state laws an infringement and voiding them.
Wouldn’t mind it :) But at a minimum, besides the order getting struck down, that lady has to be ousted. Fast. What an absolute lunatic of a governor.
Which will possibly turn into a FIRE fight.
Re the quote by David Hogg, a so-called Stoneman High School shooting “survivor”. He was NOT a “survivor”. In fact, he wasn’t even there but blocks away.
Just another grifter, con-artist, fraud, or as we say in the ‘hood, he’s the son of Al Sharpton, the King of the Con.
Another over the top move by a Democrat. Will they arrest any actual criminals?
Speaking of which, I survived the Maui fire.
Never been there and I live in New England, but still...
Albuquerque is the most criminally-violent of all the cities in America.

Deprivation of rights under color of law.
Someone take the initial arrest for the team, then destroy her.
