Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has taken a controversial stance by implementing an emergency order in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, effectively suspending the Second Amendment rights of citizens for a 30-day period.
In the wake of a devastating incident involving an 11-year-old boy, Governor Grisham has initiated this order, raising legal questions about its constitutionality. This move has stirred debate among those who cherish their right to bear arms as a means of self-defense and a safeguard against government overreach.
The Specifics: Presented as an urgent public health precaution, this directive imposes limitations on the carrying of firearms, whether openly or concealed, within the majority of public areas. Individuals exempted from this regulation include law enforcement personnel and licensed security personnel. Failure to adhere to these regulations may result in fines of up to $5,000.
The Statement: Grisham’s statement, which asserts that “No constitutional right… is meant to be without limitations,” prompts questions regarding her perspective on the boundaries of individual freedoms.
Constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley called the order, “flagrantly unconstitutional under existing Second Amendment precedent.”
Opposition: The Governor’s decision is anticipated to encounter significant legal opposition, with two gun rights organizations already signaling their intention to initiate legal proceedings. Additionally, two state senators from New Mexico are advocating for the impeachment of Governor Grisham.
Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen notably expressed concerns about overstepping boundaries and potential violations of civil rights.
