In response to a federal judge's ruling that overturned a ban on the carrying of guns in public places, New Mexico Governor Michelle Grisham issued a new order that will prevent people from bringing their weapons into certain areas.
In response to the increasing gun violence in the state, Lujan Grisham issued an executive order last week that temporarily banned the carrying of firearms within the Albuquerque region. This new order is intended to replace the one that was unconstitutional. It shows that the governor is committed to ending the crisis.
According to Lujan Grisham, she will continue fighting for the end of the public health emergency. She believes that the time has come for everyone to use all available resources to address this issue.
The leaders of the state legislature have shown their support for the governor by giving him a standing ovation during his speech. One of the legislators is Javier Martinez, the speaker of the House of Representatives. He stated that he and his colleagues will not let politics interfere with the work that needs to be done to make our communities safer.
It should be noted that the previous executive order was heavily criticized by local officials, who indicated that they would not enforce it due to its unconstitutional nature. A federal judge also stopped the implementation of the ban because it defied Supreme Court rulings. It is not yet clear if the new order will be allowed to go into effect.
The latest executive order by Lujan Grisham, which bans the carrying of firearms in public places in the city of Albuquerque, is a clear example of her overreaching power. It shows that she is prioritizing her personal interests over the rights of law abiding citizens. This type of government overreach may set a dangerous precedent.
The Second Amendment of the Constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. Limiting this right would only make law-abiding individuals more vulnerable to criminals. It's important that we stand up and fight against unconstitutional executive orders.
