A federal judge granted a temporary restraining order against New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in and around Albuquerque.
The Democratic governor issued last Friday a 30-day suspension of open and concealed carry laws in Bernalillo County, where Albuquerque, the state’s most populous city, is seated.
The move was met with pushback from gun rights groups, several of which filed lawsuits seeking to block the order. At least four lawsuits have been filed in federal court, with the Gun Owners Foundation, National Association for Gun Rights and We The Patriots USA among the various plaintiffs.
Regardless of where you fall on the firearms debate, this was 100% predictable.
And justified. I’m a believer in better gun control but this ban IS unconstitutional.
