New Mexico Governor Michelle Grisham just declared a “gun violence public emergency” and BANNED the public carry of guns in Albuquerque and the surrounding county by executive order.

You know your unconstitutional power-grab and civil rights suspension isn’t going well when such pro-gun eminences as Ryan Busse, Ted Lieu, and…wait for it…David Hogg are forced to issue public denunciations of your actions. Now, the first gun rights organization out of the blocks with a lawsuit and motion for a temporary restraining order is the National Association for Gun Rights.
Their motion for TRO is here and the complaint is here.
TTAG’s favorite barrister LKB is reading them over and will have a quick assessment for us shortly. In the mean time, you can bathe in the knee-deep tide of schadenfreude that is the self-made legal and political disaster New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has created for herself. Stay tuned.
