New Mexico Governor's unConstitutional power grab

[Anonymous]

The governor of NM, Michelle Lujan Grisham, issued an emergency order on Friday suspending the right to carry guns in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding Bernalillo County for at least 30 days following recent instances of gun violence.

Although the right to carry is codified in the NM Constitution, she claims that in the event of emergencies, the rights as outlined in the constitution can be temporarily abolished.

Even some of the most ardent gun control activists don't agree with her.

If you agree with her EO, what other rights can be abolished "in the event of an emergency?"

The US Constitution does not provide a right to open carry weapons. So, I have no idea what Hogg and Lieu think they are talking about. It will be up to New Mexico's Supreme Court to determine whether this move is allowed under the state's constitution or not.

The U.S. Constitution doesn't provide any rights. Rights are granted by God (or by nature if that makes you nervous). The point is, the U.S. Constitution is a negative check on government power. Furthermore, since rights are NOT granted by man, they cannot be taken away by man.

Carry on... literally.

+1. This is insane. There has never been a constitutional right to concealed or open carry. Concealed carry laws to ALLOW the practice were enacted starting in the '80's. Not a great sign when gun control proponents don't even know the history of gun control.

Bernalillo County Sheriff will not enforce the Governor's illicit mandate. Good. GOOD.

There is no God. That's just a fairy tale in an old book.

If you know the history of gun control then you know that in Heller, SCOTUS affirmed that 2a is NOT an absolute right.

Then the next person to get shot in Bernalillo County will be the direct fault of the Sheriff.

No. It will be the fault of the shooter or the recipient. But not the Sheriff.

The shooting wouldn't have happened if the gun curfew were enforced, so YES the Sherriff is responsible.

God didn't create guns, man did. Thus man can also decide whether or not you have the right to carry them.

The Constitution only affords you the right to keep and bear arms if you are part of a well regulated militia - those three words that you people keep conveniently and unconstitutionally ignoring.

"Gun curfew"?
