A gun rights group sued New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) and other state officials on Saturday over an emergency order banning firearms from being carried in public in Albuquerque.

The National Association for Gun Rights, alongside Albuquerque resident Foster Haines, filed suit just one day after Grisham announced the public health order temporarily suspending concealed and open carry laws in the city.

The group argued that the order violates their Second Amendment rights, pointing to the Supreme Court’s decision last year in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

    No. But if a republican were to have data showing a public emergency related to wide spread abortions and imposed a partial ban that provides carve outs for medical and hardship purposes? I would be angry, but that would likely get widespread support throughout the country as it removes most of the horror stories of abortion bans and just leaves people having their lives ruined because of a broken condom.

    And… that is what we have here. If your job requires you to carry a firearm (cop or rent a cop), you still can. Otherwise, you can leave it in your trunk with a trigger lock or whatever else. Nobody loses the Right to own fifty assault rifles and, if King Chuck comes a knocking you can still pull your M4 out of your trunk and defend America. You just have a few extra steps before unloading on the station wagon that you feel cut you off in a parking lot.

      You somehow missed the fact that this isn’t a law. No elected member of the New Mexico Legislature voted on this. This is one person in the Executive Branch deciding they can write and impose law at their will. And you support this?
