The Attorney General for New Mexico has informed Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham his office will not be appearing in court to defend her against the unconstitutional gun ban she has decreed by fiat in Alburquerque.
New Mexico – Democratic New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez announced he will not defend the state in pending lawsuits against the governor’s public health emergency order suspending open and concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque and surrounding counties.
In a letter to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) regarding four impending lawsuit cases, Torrez shared the same sentiments from Democratic and Republican lawmakers and law enforcement, saying the ban violates the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.
“Though I recognize my statutory obligation as New Mexico’s chief legal officer to defend state officials when they are sued in their official capacity, my duty to uphold and defend the constitutional rights of every citizen takes precedence,” Torrez wrote. “Simply put, I do not believe that the Emergency Order will have any meaningful impact on public safety but, more importantly, I do not believe it passes constitutional muster.” (more)
Using a “public health emergency” as a method to ban firearms is purely an ideological effort from the school of Soros.
The $64,000 question not asked:
“How many of those shootings were done by law abiding gun owners who were lawfully carrying their firearms?”
biden-appointed judge just halted her 2nd amendment gun grab… temporarily. I think the test failed at least for now, Cloward & Piven… rinse, repeat elsewhere
What is it that you don’t understand about the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution?
Murders by gun violence are not caused by law abiding citizens owning guns. Murders are caused by murderers.
All you want to do, Governor, is use murders as an excuse to destroy our Constitution.
It is people like you with no knowledge of the Constitution that should be in a remedial class on the Constitution, not serving in any kind of executive office.
You are a disgrace to this country.
