NM governor suspends open & concealed carry in Albuquerque for 30 days

[FrankZ]

What's their end game though?

You know they secretly have thought about doing this.

Did she do it too soon? Didn't use big enough bait?

Politics is a copy cat league. I think they are terrified this sort of thing will get used against them on something they care about.

Nah, they know their opponents (us) have too much respect for the constitution to pull that crap. What they're worried about is that the lefty judges they rely on to give them cover for their slow-burn, constant nibbling erosion of adherence to the constitution can't possibly pretend that a move like the AZ governor's order is constitutional. They may lose at least some portion of the only method they have to keep their unconstitutional crap around for the years it takes to fully hash it out. Combine that with the fact that Trump/McConnell sat nearly 300 constitutionalist federal judges, and they know they have to keep their toxic crap on the down-low and local where it has cover. The governor stepped up into a bigger arena and the sun is shining on it. Can't have that. THAT is what scares them about this.

".....Plaintiffs ask that a restraining order be issued ex parte, without any opportunity for Defendants to respond or be heard."

Link to one of the two lawsuits that have been filled so far. This is from Gun Owners Of America:

Good, the GOA asked for nominal damages for the plaintiff.

The other case didnt, IIRC.

This behavior will spill over into other rights.

"Sorry, Public Health Emergency. Elections will be delayed...but only for 30 days!"
Weeks and months will pass or the opposition gets indicted and arrested for something...

The Governor was asked, "Do you think the criminals will obey the law"?? She said, and I paraphrase......... "Uh No, but this will entice the populace to report crimes".

WTH has gotten into people that think this way. I think Mrs. Ez is right. There's something in the food or water. This is some crazy $hit!!

Divide and conquer

Gotta turn the enemy... that is WE THE PEOPLE... against each other

Trump is right. They're not just coming for him, they're coming for us!! Based on the accelerated rate of societal/political degradation in this country, I'd say the SHTF moment is most certainly 6 years or less away. ( considering there won't be an 'R' POTUS in '24 )

And, what will that moment look like? I think it looks like Russia today. Yes, you are free, some what. Free to marry, go to a restaurant of your choice, go to a park of your choice . BUT, if you lift ONE finger of political opposition to the current regime, you will go to jail.

Like all things written by damn lawyers and politicians the devil is in the details.

No clear penalty for violating N.M. public health order on guns - Source New Mexico

The New Mexico government on Friday enacted a public health order prohibiting people from possessing firearms, but could not say what penalties people will face for violating the new directive.

sourcenm.com

-snip-
New Mexico Health Secretary Patrick Allen signed a public health emergency order prohibiting anyone from possessing a firearm, either openly or concealed.

The order applies only within cities or counties that have an average of 1,000 or more violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year since 2021 and that have more than 90 firearm-related emergency room visits per 100,000 residents from July 2022 to June 2023.

As of Friday, that meant the order only applied to the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, Lujan Grisham said.

The order also applies to state property, public schools and public parks.
-end snip-

Then why didn't she just say it if it only applied to Albuquerque and Bernalillo County? Damn lawyers. All of them.

I think it would have been better to declare martial law and roll with it.

At least she’s making some people happy….according to The Bee!

What social media outlet is this posted on?

 

[Lafayette]

This is amazing, if true:

I can’t imagine it would be that hard to get 200 people to sign a petition to convene a grand jury to indict the governor.

Folks showed up, but this short video shows only a few carrying.

Sounds like she takes her job seriously: 'No constitutional right, in my view, including my oath, is intended to be absolute.'

 

[RFBfromDE]

39 days of increased peace?

To stop the spread?

 

[Odarlin1]

Praise to the residents showing up with their firearms. That's what "Will Not Comply" looks like!!

The important question is: "Was anyone arrested for carrying?" My impression is that no one was.

No one was arrested.

I would not be surprised if the protestors receive fines in the mail from the NM state police based upon the surveillance cameras.

The PD Chief , and DA have directly said they will not enforce . The Sheriff ( who spoke out first ) stopped just short of saying absolute no , but gave multiple reasons to not enforce .

Hypothetically, the Governor could issue a direct order to Superintendent of NMSP to enforce ( which would be an interesting behind doors conversation to be a fly on the wall ) .
