Citizens’ 2nd Amendment Rights Suspended by Emergency Health Order

New Mexico Governor Takes Action to Address‌ Gun Violence

In a bold move to combat gun‍ violence, New Mexico Governor Michelle⁢ Lujan Grisham ⁣has issued an emergency public health order that temporarily suspends the open⁤ and permitted concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque for 30 days.

The governor, a Democrat, ⁣acknowledged that⁢ there may be legal ⁢challenges to her decision, but she felt ⁤compelled to act in response to recent ​tragic incidents, including the fatal shooting of an ⁢11-year-old boy ​outside ‌a minor league baseball stadium just this week.

The temporary suspension of firearms is ⁢directly linked to the alarming rates of ⁤violent crime ⁢in the Albuquerque area. However, it’s ‌important to note that the police are exempt from this ban,⁢ ensuring that law enforcement can continue to carry firearms.

Despite the⁢ anticipated challenges, Governor Lujan Grisham expressed her willingness to engage in a debate and fight⁤ for the safety of New Mexicans. During a⁣ news ⁣conference, she ⁤stood alongside prominent law‌ enforcement ‍officials, including⁣ the district⁤ attorney ⁤for the Albuquerque‌ area.

The governor ⁢highlighted several​ recent shootings in Albuquerque, including a tragic road rage incident outside a minor league ⁤baseball stadium that claimed ​the life of 11-year-old Froyland Villegas and⁣ critically injured a woman. These incidents, along with ​the ​fatal shooting of 5-year-old Galilea Samaniego‍ while she slept in⁣ a motor home, and the shooting death‍ of 13-year-old Amber Archuleta in Taos County, have ⁤underscored the‌ urgent need for action.
