Never let a crisis go to waste. So the criminals and gang bangers are shooting up the city of Albuquerque, NM, so what does Gov. Lujan Grisham (pictured above) do? She bans the good guys from carrying the means with which to fight back against criminals.
Whose side is she on?
SANTA FE, N.M. (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.
Rest assured the Brandon Johnson and J.B. Pritzker are watching to see how well this trial balloon flies.
Or how long.
Today, I signed an executive order declaring gun violence a public health emergency. To my fellow citizens: get loud. Step up. Demand change: from your neighbors, from your friends, from your communities, from your elected leaders. Enough is enough. More coming from me tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/jOt4fv4YDC

And last but not least… from the Firearms Policy Coalition
She should be removed from office. Now.
There are 545 political “Leaders” in this country and well over 300 million of us peons. It’s in our hands to replace these people. When you look at the overwhelming numbers in our favor, what is stopping us? When the rule of law becomes a crime, then civil disobedience MUST follow. Court battles won against these tyrants are a win for the whole country.
DO NOT COMPLY
Just like Illinois New Mexico is plagued by brain dead liberal zombies that vote for less freedom and that’s how swine like Grisham ( or JB the shit nugget ) get in. She should lead by example and disarm her security detail but that won’t happen. Her horse shit “order” ought to be good for a bunch of lawsuits.
Impeach and remove her immediately. Leaders like her just want control. And definitely not of the criminal elements.
The Civil War is not far off. The question is how many Ferral Agents, State Stasi, Municipal Gendarmes, and Armed Forces personnel will “follow orders” and attempt to stop the Patriots.
IF you are referring to the local police as Armed Forces just following orders OR “just doing their job” as many apologists would say then please be mindful the Republicans would side with the cops because that’s what their so-called values are as YOU, the American people get thrown under the bus. They back the blue, not you. ALWAYS remember that!
P.S. Feel free to call them Uniparty at will.
You know, a government type does not believe in the Constitution when the very first step they take is to deprive you of your means of self-protection.
You may not know it but just as in Chicago, the violence in Albuquerque is black on black, black on yellow black on red. Et cetera, et cetera.
So why does this governor suspend your constitutional rights instead of just putting the blacks back in chains? Because she’s a fascist! If you made being black in Albuquerque a crime, you would eliminate the crime. so this may sound naive and somewhat racist, but why choose to violate the second amendment over violating the 14th amendment?
I know I know, call me a racist period but I’m just quoting from such inimitable sources as doctor Thomas sowell, doctor Walter Williams, the irascible doctor William Cosby and Tupac.
Those prominent black men know and knew that it’s black on black violence.
So when can we admit this and get beyond the cries of racism to the actual facts?
Travis, not sure of your point. This has nothing to do with Democrat, ah Communist but I repeat myself, or Republicans. Politicians of any sort are the enemies of the Representative Republic. Until Patriots serve their term and go back to their lives, and the $$$ is taken out of politics we are done. As a retired LEO I know when I was on the job you might get 10% to follow such orders. As I have been retired for 7 years and put that life behind me I question how many of the ‘New breed’ conditioned by government schools and the various forms of idiot boxes will blindly follow.
