This was a rally against Lujan Grisham’s “public health emergency” on gun violence. Specifically, the part where she bans carrying guns – either through open or concealed carry permits – in Bernalillo County and the City of Albuquerque for 30 days.
“It’s unconstitutional, so there’s no way we can enforce that order,” Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen said during a news conference. “This ban does nothing to curb gun violence.”
GOP state lawmakers also proposed initiating impeachment proceedings against the governor, a move that would require buy-in from the Democrats who control the Legislature.
“My constituents have reached out to me in droves, emailing and texting me that this is insane, this is horrifying, this is unconstitutional,” said Republican state Rep. John Block of Alamogordo, representing a conservative stronghold in southern New Mexico.
WE WILL NOT COMPLY!!
