New Mexico governor issues order to suspend open and concealed carry of guns in Albuquerque

[actaeon277]

Maybe women that have "restraining orders" should be blowing up her phone lines, and the news media's phones.
How are they supposed to defend themselves?
Why does the Governor want them harmed?

The bill will be quite large if it's tried out at a national level, hordes of dc law firms at over $1000 per hour. Taxpayer financed virtue signaling, with a kickback. A dream scam for political machines, and big media will give them all the cover they could want.

Lawfare, how to virtue signal, attack your opponents and get paid for it.

It will never happen. Like posted above, the lawsuits would be endless.

Forget a judge, where are the locals with a bucket of tar and a bag full of feathers to haul this twit to the nearest train depot and run her out of town?

Dunno? Where are we with Todd Young?

This is a test and only a test. Dems have to try this out at a state level before going national.

This right here. If you remember they were bringing up this "public healthy emergency" idea in Indianapolis earlier this year. In fact it seemed the media hacks were pushing it on their own, and kept asking if the public health department was going to do anything about it.

Not only is she ugly, not 2A friendly, and the posessor of a fruity-arsed maiden name, she also seems crooked, per the shining beacon o' truth called wikipedia:

"Lujan Grisham was sworn in as a member of Congress on January 3, 2013. In 2016, she was one of nine members of Congress who took a trip to Baku who were later found to have been secretly funded by the government of Azerbaijan; she had to turn over gifts the country gave her to the House Clerk after an ethics investigation."

Only a pinko would go to Azerbaijan, save for someone at the head of an Armenian armored division.

Azkaban?

But but but... its "for the children!"

"But I have to take a tough direct stand, or basically I’m just ignoring the fact that we lost an 11-year-old, another child."

Wow.. She is a real work of art... What a total scumbag she is..

Sexual battery settlement​

In December 2019, a former campaign staffer and spokesperson, James Hallinan, accused Lujan Grisham of sexual battery. According to Hallinan, the incident took place during a staff meeting in 2018. By his account, Lujan Grisham poured a bottle of water on his crotch and then slapped and grabbed his crotch through his pants while laughing. He said the incident happened "in front of everybody".[61]

In April 2021, it was publicized that Lujan Grisham and her gubernatorial campaign, while denying the allegations, had reached a $62,500 settlement with the law firm representing Hallinan. The payment was made in monthly installments of $12,500 from November 2020 to March 2021.[62] Her political committee paid another $87,500 over six months, bringing the total payout to $150,000.[63]

Ethics controversy​

In February 2021, an investigative team from Albuquerque TV station KOB found reports of more than $6,500 worth of groceries bought from the governor's contingency fund, which is intended for travel or official functions to promote the state. According to public receipts through an Inspection of Public Records Act request, the items include anything from laundry detergent to Wagyu beef, tuna steaks, top sirloin and hundreds of dollars in alcohol purchases."[64

Ok, so maybe she isn't sooooo bad...

She does have that crazy look to the eyes.

 

[actaeon277]

How about she gets no police protection, no guards at the buildings, and no private security for her.

Agreed, They should live within the confines that they push on us.

 

[Combat Engineer]

Stuff like this could be the catalyst for a really bad time for someone living in USA.

 

[WebSnyper]

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this governor's logic. This governor knows that it is unconstitutional, and expects it to be challenged, already getting pushback..... And does it anyway?

Primary brownie points and averts the blame to others.

This seems ripe to be struck down by SCOTUS based on previous ruling. Public health should NOT be a consideration in cases about a basic right.

The Supreme Court's Ruling on Guns | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

The decision struck down New York’s law regulating concealed carry of firearms. What does that mean for other states—and for public health?

publichealth.jhu.edu

U.S. Supreme Court ruled that New York’s law, which had been in place since 1913, is unconstitutional

The dissenting opinion focused much more on public health. There were citations to all sorts of studies, both in the public health scholarship and in other social sciences, saying that we can't even have this discussion without talking about the public health impact of guns and gun violence, that that's a key piece of this, and that the majority opinion just disregarded it.

Justice Alito, in his concurring opinion, was very dismissive of public health evidence. He said, basically, “Well, if New York's law is so great, why did the Buffalo shooting happen?” In the concurring opinions, there was a lot of disregard for public health evidence. But the dissent was very focused on public health evidence

It used to be that people who were being considered for the Supreme Court said that they should be restrained in striking down state laws that were passed democratically in order to accomplish important goals. But this seems like an aggressive way of striking down democratically passed laws.

Justice Thomas in the majority opinion even alludes to that. He says, “Yes, there are times that the court should defer to legislatures, but when we're talking about an individual right as important as the Second Amendment, we can't do that. We have to look to history and tradition and not defer to the legislature.”​

This is some pretty interesting commentary from a Baptist preacher in Kentucky.

 

[BJHay]

So predictable. It happens over and over.

If murder rates go up then "We were too conciliatory. We didn't go far enough to make it work. We must be bold in times of trouble"
If murder rates go down then "This law was a good first step"

 

[actaeon277]

Not to mention...
Crime is up, because of THEIR POLICIES.

So, they CAUSED crime to go up.
And now they use that as the EXCUSE to enact gun control.

If anyone remembers, gun ownership has went up for DECADES, and crime was FALLING.
Until recently.
