This, THIS RIGHT THE F**K HERE, is exactly what you, me, and everyone with a logical brain was talking about back in 2020 and 2021 when the various state governors were using “Public Health Emergency” declarations to rule by unilateral fiat and remove constitutional and legislatively enacted rights.
THIS STORY, happening right now in Alburquerque, is a direct and specific outcome of NOT PUSHING BACK in ’20/’21 and allowing governors to take control without legislative approvals. The governor has just declared gun possession unlawful, under the auspices of a Public Health Emergency.”
Folks, they are testing the waters, and there needs to be an immediate lawsuit and injunction.
(Via AP) – ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday issued an emergency public health order that suspends the open and permitted concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque for 30 days in the midst of a spate of gun violence.
The Democratic governor said she is expecting legal challenges but felt compelled to act in response to gun deaths, including the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.
The firearms suspension is tied to a threshold for violent crime rates that only the Albuquerque area currently meets. Police are exempt from the temporary ban on carrying firearms.
Lujan Grisham said the restrictions “are going to pose incredible challenges for me as a governor and as a state.”
“I welcome the debate and fight about how to make New Mexicans safer,” she said at a news conference, flanked by leading law enforcement officials, including the district attorney for the Albuquerque area.
Lujan Grisham referenced several recent shootings in Albuquerque. Among them was a road rage shooting Wednesday outside a minor league baseball stadium that killed 11-year-old Froyland Villegas and critically wounded a woman as their vehicle was peppered with bullets while crowds departed an evening game.

Do not be naive enough to think this is not being coordinated with the people in control of the White House. There is ZERO chance this is an independent decision by the New Mexico governor, ZERO CHANCE.
Now…. Connect the dots. YESTERDAY
White House – […] “The actions of persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended, and the measures adopted to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 23, 2023. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism declared in Executive Order 13224, as amended.”
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, is unconstitutional. Why has it not been removed by SCOTUS?
The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms
The Second Amendment in the U.S. Bill of Rights
I don’t think the Supreme Court can consider a case on its own.
I think it has to be brought by someone else.
No one, in the entire legal system of the United States since 2001 was willing to bring this to the Supreme Court?
Once the case is in a Federal Court, the SCOTUS can choose to pick it up at any point. They usually do not, but can.
Is there a connection to George W. Bush on September 23, 2001, and the unconstitutional Executive Order 13224
And The Patriot Act.
Criminals know ‘Gun Free Zones’ are easy targets.
George W. Bush served as POTUS from 2001 to 2005. Anyone see a connection?
Geez, those are some creepy looking people….
I was hoping people would notice one person was connected to all of these events.
They are not just creepy looking, they are criminals and creepy at the same time. I rarely dislike anyone to the point where I use the word hate, but my hate barometer is off the charts looking at these traitors.
The BUSH crime family is no better than the Biden or Obama crime families.
2001 to 2009.
Government by emergency has to be stopped and female politicians need to be expected to govern by the constitution and not their feelings. In this case she was triggered by three incidents of gun deaths involving children. Now, she just needs to keep everyone “safer” by violating their rights.
1) An 11 y.o. was killed in a road rage incident. There has been no arrest. I’d be willing to bet that the perp is not a registered gun owner.

2) Five teenagers face murder charges in the tragic drive-by shooting death of a 5-year-old girl hit in the head by a rifle bullet while she slept in the New Mexico mobile home trailer of her babysitter, whose grandson was the intended target in a long-running feud over a girl.
In a statement, Albuquerque District Defender Dennica Torres, whose office is representing the suspects, said, “Our young people really need to be educated about the dangers of gun violence…”
No, they knew what they were doing. The problem is the “teens,” not the gun.

And in the third incident a 14 yo girl was killed:
According to state police, the teenager shot and killed Archuleta during a hangout with three other juveniles at his father’s home. Shortly after the shooting, investigators stated the suspect dragged Archuleta’s body outside and returned inside the residence.

Again, how can these incidents justify declaring an emergency against lawful gun ownership when the problem is clearly the deterioration of civil society, which makes law-abiding people want to carry guns even more for protection against a growing uncivil element.
“how can these incidents justify declaring an emergency against lawful gun ownership”
because it has nothing to do with these incidents and the people consent anyway. so why shouldn’t she do as she damn well pleases?
Do you mean, even when they create the emergency, they plan on using?
She was asked if she expected criminals to obey her emergency declaration and she said “No.”
This is a trial balloon.
If she gets away with this, expect the same thing to be tried elsewhere.
This could have been done as easily by any Leftist Governor. It is not an emotional response.
It is premeditated and coldly calculated.
She is just doing as she was instructed.
I don’t disagree with you. I’m pointing out that female governors have been very good at playing the emotion card: It’s for the children. It’s for your safety. It’s just because I care so much. ALL government by emergency needs to be ended as it has simply replaced the Bill of Rights with the globalists’ agenda under the guise of concern. Obiden just extended an emergency from September 11, 2001.
Most females suck at being leaders.
Most men just fail miserably when money is involved.
I hope someone found this & shared it before me… the county sheriff ISN’T HAVING IT. Please tell *everyone* you can in NM to GET BEHIND THIS SHERIFF… the CLEO (Chief Law Enforcement Officer)
{ New Mexico Sheriff Tells Tyrannical Governor He Will Not Comply with Temporary New Mexico Gun Ban }
That woman is bat guano crazy. There is a news clip that contains this gem:
“Reporter: Do you really think the criminals are really going to hear this message and not carry a gun in Albuquerque on the streets for 30 days?
Idjit Governor: No.”
She is attempting to enact a decree that she knows is ineffective for its claimed purpose.
She is attempting to enact a decree that she knows is ineffective for its claimed purpose.
Like claiming an untested “vaccine,” which later is shown to not work, and even has COVID-19 listed as the third most frequent SIDE EFFECT, should be mandated because it is a “compelling state interest” in doing so. That’s the phrase to remember—“COMPELLING STATE INTEREST.” She just proved that her move will be INEFFECTIVE which is the very definition of NOT being a “Compelling State Interest.”
Whenever these clucks try something, this is their legal argument NUMBER ONE. Knock it down, they have nothing left in the quiver.
This TYRANT is NOTHING! NULLIFY and IGNORE! She is a POX on the nation and should be removed and deported.
She “… welcomes the debate and fight about how to make New Mexicans safer.” I think the fight she gets, will be more than what she is thinking she wants. I would bet the New Mexico gun owners will most likely give her a real fight!
Aw, she just want to make people safer. Maybe she should start with an honest assessment of the recent “spat” of shootings in NM. Has the road rage driver been caught yet, and if so, is he from NM or perhaps imported. Those lovely “teens” that keep shooting each other. Are they from here? Are they gang bangers? Is there some massive failure in public schools that has failed to instill basic knowledge such as ” shoot people?” Are the batsh8t crazy policies of democrat governors such as herself feeding a decay in society? Maybe less emphasis on gender bending and climate change and more on the foundations of this country?
Have everyone carry.
The corrupt mask is off and thrown to the floor. Bastard, tyranical democrats…
Our God given constitutional rights are absolute, permanent, irrevocable, and cannot be suspended even in the presence of a real or supposed emergency.
Can’t wait to see how her “BAN” pans out in the short term and then the long term. Where is the Supreme Court when we need them?
If we fail to challenge the gross violations of our Rights this time, we’re done. Stand up; do not submit to fear; realize that there are many more of us than them. That is what truly frightens them.
[…] political speech that condemns the government’s abuses. It declares spurious “public health emergencies” in order to fracture communities, close businesses, regulate travel, spy on communications, and […]
