  1. Shes a commie remove her from office

  2. So the ACLU is not pro 2A? See what you did governor?

  3. Wow never have i seen so many ccw holders commit murder. I mean they must be the ones doing the crime right?

    She should just tell everyone murder is illegal and not to do it. And schools are gun free zones so no weapons there either. See. Now that will all work out!!

  4. She thinks by signing an executive decree – a piece of paper – she can take away our natural rights that are guaranteed by the Second Amendment – that the Supreme Court reinforced a year and a half ago, that are guaranteed by federal law, that is guaranteed by New Mexico’s Constitution – simply by declaring an emergency.

  5. Can we stop electing dumb people.

  6. You know its bad when as a democrat the ACLU calls you out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  7. “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

    ― C. S. Lewis

  8. Now im just imaging someone showing up the protest in a tank.
    Cause it is legal to purchase and drive a tank so long as you have the license for it. 😆
    (Not sure about the ammunition though. 🤔)

  9. and of course she runs to loser cnn and nbc to cry that the good people of Albuquerque don't like her

  10. Unconstitutional and she has no right to do Soo and that well she is a Democrat Soo we know they will do anything to take Americans gun rights

  11. We need more guns in the hands of responsible gun owners and law-abiding citizens.

  12. "The right of the people to KEEP and BEAR arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!"

    Interest balancing test IS NOT ALLOWED, per the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT!

    Public officials who do not FOLLOW the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, should be REMOVED from office!!!! Their breach of oath to protect and DEFEND the Constitution is perjury!

    The STUPIDITY of these politicians is equivalent to saying BAN the automobile because of drunk drivers killing people

  13. We can’t commit a crime tonight the gov said a temp ban we gotta wait 30 days blahhh

  14. She is dumb. Sure criminals will follow the law. She needs to be removed.

  15. who were the people on the side of the new mexico governor? they too should be taking heat.

  16. Unconstitutional, and apparently a federal Judge in Albuquerque agrees with me

  17. When both the ACLU and the NRA disagree with a governor’s decision … wow.

  18. All I got to say is if you want Civil War you know what side the sheriff and police are on now!

  19. Watching her throw her career away with one action is pretty amusing.

  20. Why isn’t she disarming the city police too? What do they need firearms for if the citizens don’t have them?

  21. Going against constitutional rights by elected officials is tantamount to treason. I suggest she Look up the penalty for treason.

  22. when the people fear the government, there is tyranny…but when the government fear the people, there is liberty…and i bet you this governor has a security staff that carry a firearm to protect her…

  23. Jon jones enters the chat…

  24. 😂😂 Create a cooling off period
    ..

    Criminals don't cool off 😒😒

  25. "A constitution defines and limits the powers of the government it creates. It therefore follows, as a natural and also a logical result, that the governmental exercise of any power not authorized by the constitution is an assumed power, and therefore illegal."

    Thomas Paine

  26. Thank you sheriff for putting this governor that doesn't want to up hold the constitution in her place

  27. New Mexico citizens contact Your legislators in Congress. Called them drop a post card on removing your Governor for banning your guns.

  28. The governor belongs in prison for the deprivation of rights under color of law.

  29. It’s very, very simple, People: when you have a degenerate leftist who breaks her sworn oath of office and steals your rights, you impeach her and get her out of office NOW, then you try her for her treason and either imprison or execute her.

  30. Hey New Mexico. Stop voting for democrats. DUH!

  31. How dumb can someone be!!?? Dangerous as heck in the streets nowadays, and you gonna tell the law-abiding citizens they can't carry to protect themselves! The criminals ain't gonna follow you unconstitutional law anyway! You are only hurting the law-abiding ones! She should be arrested!

  32. 2 WEEKS FLATTEN THE CURVE 🙄

  33. SOUNDS TO ME …LIKE EMBEZZLEMENT TOPIC😊YUP… LUCRATIVE 😊LOL PPL COURTS…… ETC…..

  34. Dems keep using public health orders to coerce the public into behaving the way they see as acceptable, its going to be used repeatedly in every aspect of our lives.
