NM Gov Lujan unilaterally usurps 2A

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-mexico-governor-temporarily-suspends-open-concealed-carry-albuquerque-violence-every-turn

couple of really striking takeaways here.

1. she used emergency powers and cited a public health crisis to make it illegal to be armed in public.

2. the sherriff states that he feels this violates the constitution which he swore to uphold, but he’s going enforce it regardless.

3. Gov lujan cites an instance as evidence of necessity, in which 3 teens 1) stole a car, 2) broke into a residence, before 3) killing a 5 year old…. But I’m confident that if it were illegal to possess a weapon they wouldn’t have committed the 1st felonies…..

part of me wonders if this is a “test balloon” to see how the public receives this, LEO enforces it, and the courts handle it. And white as white gets LUJAN is a perfect shill to float this….

BTW Albuquerque is a crap hole but that has more to do with illegal drug and human trafficking coming up I25 from Juarez…..

We all knew something like this was looming…NM is a butt and Alberqwerky is the bung hole.

she is the excriment…

And the sheriff needs to be recalled for knowingly and willingly violating his oath and the Constitution.

[boy wonder]

I understand their reason to to violate the citizens rights, after all the examples they gave of law abiding gun owners shootin’ up the town……

No big surprise coming from the People’s Democratic Republic of New Mexico

Every gun owner in Albuquerque should protest march on the capital fully armed.

I can see Texans being threatened with the same or similar issues some day. That's why I'd like to see more autonomy at the local level. But I also have been helped to understand the danger to some of our fundamental freedoms that we (as a state) have not secured in our constitution. My hope is that if/when we get a large enough majority in one of our state houses, we will propose amendments securing these rights so that the state can loosen it's grip and allow locals to govern themselves. I know. The idea that government officials would give up power to the people is an unrealistic fantasy.

I can see this as an EO as a national edict…. Locals be ****ed

The arrogance of some of these state and local politicians is just astounding.

And then she promptly admits that the criminals won’t follow her executive decision……but remember that no amendment to the constitution is ABSOLUTE

[rockyraider]

Makes sense libs, disarm law abiding citizens under the pretense of some phony health crisis all the while the scumbags committing these crimes, are not held liable and will continue to shoot and rob people with the same guns that law abiding citizens can no longer use to protect themselves. Got it.

I am visualizing that and it looks to be a chitty deal and 100% correctamundo !

Before we go after one New Mexico sheriff, let’s start with the majority of the SOB’s in congress, because I guarantee their “crimes” are exponentially more egregious.

You are correct that amendments have holes in them but when the Supreme Court rules, that eliminates some claimed interpretations or holes.

In NYSRPA v. Bruen, the Supreme Court ruled that carrying a firearm in public was a fundamental right of self defense and no less than any other fundamental right such as freedom of speech or religion.

This is a quote from the Bruen decision:

The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not “a second-class right subject to an entirely different body rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees”.

So while it can be said like a mantra or caveat in any discussion of constitutional rights… well, no right is absolutely, it does become absolutely upon a ruling by the Supreme Court unless they later overrule themselves.

The Supreme Court is quoted to say that the right to bear arms “in public” for the purpose of “self defense” is equal to other freedoms such as freedom of the press, right to remain silent, an attorney, etc.

So unless anyone believes that a governor can under any circumstance tell you that during bad times or an emergency, you do not have a right to religion, you no longer have a right to remain silent or to hire an attorney or you no longer have the right to voice you opposition…… the premise of no amendment is absolutely has no bearing in this case and certainly not for the unilaterally action. The Supreme Court recently made that clear.

In my opinion.
