New Mexico’s governor has moved to temporarily suspend the right to carry firearms in public in counties with high rates of violent crime, a move she said was necessary to curb gun violence but one that swiftly prompted legal challenges and outcry from local law enforcement officials.

Friday’s order from Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, targets cities and counties averaging 1,000 or more violent crimes per 100,000 residents a year since 2021, according to the FBI’s crime data. The municipality must also experience more than 90 firearm-related emergency department visits per 100,000 residents from July 2022 to June 2023.

  1. She's gets it alright. If the general public is unarmed, they can apply tyranny without fail.

  2. Did you bother to tell the criminals that New Mexico is a gun free zone?

  3. The governor knows it will cause more innocent deaths. That what dem-a-rats want.

  4. Because most gun related crime is done from lawful owners. Just like any other politician. Try to target the problem and not punish those who don’t cause harm. A 30 day ban is still against constitutional rights. The black market is what you should target.

  5. Why won’t they arrest her for committing a felony crime under federal law 18 usc 241 – 242
    They already gave her a pass on the sexual battery charges in which she paid $150000 in hush money before the election!!!

  6. Awesome idea. Prevent me from stopping a mugging or worse on me or my family instead of dropping the hammer on repeat violent felons. Great logic.

  7. She's a Democrat, so what do you expect? They don't believe in the constitution or the bill of rights.

  8. Here's the reality of why this governor did what she did.
    It gave her air time and national press coverage. As she bids to be the VP on the Democrat ticket for the Whitehouse. Kamala has had four years of coverage and proven herself to be a complete moron. She this governor is saying look at me.

  9. Do they think the criminals will be like oh wait a minute let's take a knife because there's a gun ban lmao…they don't care

  10. Impeach her treasonous butte, it's against the oath for office to not uphold our constitution

  11. He should be able to see the connection between the lawful carriers and the crime. Easy gun access is making it easy to commit crimes. Wow, what a mind trip man.

  12. She’s just trying to flex her power… she’s just another Washington puppet. There’s no logic behind this, at least to someone with common sense.

  13. He was a law abiding good guy with a gun…till he wasn't

  14. You stupid people, banning guns will not stop criminals from acquiring them, I leave my gun home alone every day for 10 hours and it has never committed any crime whatsoever.

  15. 30 day gun ban lol yep that’ll stop em

  16. 😆😆😆😆😆
    THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN GUNS AND PEOPLE GETTING SHOT.
    Really……?

  17. "Not follow the law"? Like this sheriff?

  18. Guy should be banned from owning a gun store. He’d sell a gun to anyone you can tell. What a terrible country the US is.

  19. Most of New Mexico doesn’t want her in office but we always get out voted by the major city areas. They will see who she really is

  20. I didn't know states can have a dictatorship. This sounds like a good US Supreme Court case.

  21. Neither do police, so who's the actual criminal. Everyone is a law biding citizen until they aren't.

  22. If it's True that Barrack Obama is not a born here in America can we erase policies he put into motion and remove his name as a president of the United States of America?

  23. Ask the criminals to please bring in all their guns.
    That will fix the problem, Idiot.

  24. That mayor is completely inapt….

  25. Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior, but “growing money is wisdom”. I found this out a week ago after getting a $29,900 return on my $3,500 investment in 11 days.

  26. Democrats do not need an excuse for acting badly. It's just in their nature, they're just bad.

  27. Is he black, white or indian I just don't know haha

  28. The vast majority of illegal firearms in this country were purchased legally originally. Whether through theft or loopholes, they are getting into the hands of criminals, so how dare him say there's no connection. He knows that's BS.

  29. Violence is violence ,but wait doesn't the supremacy clause speak on this,don't let them keep over stepping their boundaries, ordinances and statues,are also a way for them to do this….pay attention

  30. If you take guns from honest folks how hell they gonna protect their families from ones who don't care about anything . This just wrong and I live in Virginia always wanted to go out west not sure anymore that's just nuts

  31. God bless u for standing up and doing ur job.

  32. thank you sr,i can stand behind a officer. like

  33. I’m a pretty liberal fella you could say but we need to stop with this loophole GOTCHA BS. The country is divided enough. It’s not the time to be like check out this four dimensional chess move I pulled to own the conservatives! and then go all shocked Pikachu that nobody trusts each others motives. This isn’t Public Health. Please cut it out.

  34. Let's ban all match sales so we never have another wildfire!
    -their logic

  35. Out of all places New Mexico acting like a communist country

  36. Vote for stupidity- guess what you get?😂

  37. What the hell is gun violence? There's no such thing.

  38. Don't most criminals have guns no matter what legislation is in place?? It's amazing how illogical this approach is.

  39. Albuquerque Native here: Thank you Sheriff

    Our Democrat mayor and police chief said the same thing 😱😱

  40. Gun violence is just violence. arrest criminals you cowards, bidens america and the liberals winning

  41. It’s time to start putting these goddamn tyrants in their place not one of their damn mandates or new laws that they create means a damn thing when it goes against our constitution

  42. I didn't realize that new Mexico was part of the ccp. Time to stand for you rights.
