The leftist Democrat governor of New Mexico has just suspended the 2nd amendment right to carry firearms for 30 days in the areas in and around Albuquerque.

She’s declared this illegal policy under an ’emergency public health order’ that she claims is justified because of recent shooting crimes.

Here’s more via the AP:

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days in response to a spate of gun violence.

The Democratic governor said she expects legal challenges but was compelled to act because of recent shootings, including the death of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.

Lujan Grisham said state police would be responsible for enforcing what amount to civil violations. Albuquerque police Chief Harold Medina said he won’t enforce it, and Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen said he’s uneasy about it because it raises too many questions about constitutional rights.

The firearms suspension, classified as an emergency public health order, applies to open and concealed carry in most public places, from city sidewalks to urban recreational parks. The restriction is tied to a threshold for violent crime rates currently only met by the metropolitan Albuquerque. Police and licensed security guards are exempt from the temporary ban.

Here is a video of the governor defending the order, claiming that the 1st and 2nd amendment do not exist when she declares an emergency:

Mark Levin responded to this news today, saying “Here’s the latest face of a sickening fascist — another tyrannical Democrat. She claims the power to destroy the 2nd amendment. She declares an “emergency” and powers beyond.”

This ban on the 2nd amendment will never stand in the courts. What this leftist doesn’t understand is that the Constitution recognizes that the right to carry firearms comes from God, which is why it says it “shall not be infringed”.

I’ll tell you what this really is. It’s a test to see if Democrats can get away with doing this in an ’emergency’ basis. If they can then there will be permanent emergencies all over the US to get rid of guns.

What’s so absurd is that the people this illegal ban on the 2nd amendment will truly hurt are the people she claims she’s trying to protect. Criminals will never give up their guns because they are criminals! This ban does nothing but put innocent people in danger. It’s disgusting.
