New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) issued an order Friday suspending, for 30 days, state residents’ rights to carry guns for self-defense in Albuquerque.
The ban applies to concealed and open carry
Associated Press reported that the governor made the move in response to gun violence in the city of Albuquerque.
KOB4 noted the ban on carrying guns begins September 8 and runs for 30 days, after which the governor will make a decision about extending it.
When questioned about her order’s impact on
the Second Amendment
the governor stressed her belief that
no constitutional right … is intended to be absolute
The order came days after an 11-year-old boy was murdered in Albuquerque.
- THE FOLLOWING PATRIOTS IN NM STATED:
Albuquerque police chief Harold Medina responded to the governor’s order by making clear he will not enforce it. Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen indicated he is concerned the order violates New Mexicans’ constitutional rights.
Legal challenges to the ban are expected.

Mandates do not obligate performance/compliance. Enforcement of this is would be a criminal act against inviolable individual rights. Popcorn material.
