Last Friday, New Mexico’s Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham decided she was going to declare a “public health emergency” and suspend the 2nd Amendment in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County.
Yes, you read that right: she brazenly proclaimed that the 2nd Amendment was suspended.
Well, between the lawsuits getting filed and talk of impeachment, the little people of New Mexico showed up Sunday at high noon in Albuquerque carrying guns, both open and concealed. They dared the Governor or her State Police – or anyone else – to take their guns away.
And guess who didn’t show up?
While law enforcement was present, they were there supporting the rally, not to make arrests or issue fines for ignoring the petty tyrant guv’s edict.

Incredibly, the rally organizers even allowed someone supporting gun control to speak out against the governor’s unlawful edict.
Congressman Thomas Massie summed it up nicely:
Ultimately, government is whatever the people in power can get away with and whatever the people they govern will tolerate.
This holds true for all governments whether they be republics, democracies, dictatorships, monarchies, socialist, or communist.
Noncompliance is key.
