New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in and around Albuquerque has drawn an immediate court challenge Saturday from a gun-rights group
who was asleep in a motor home. The governor also cited the shooting death in August of a 13-year-old girl in Taos County.
“And we have a very conservative Supreme Court that is poised to expand Second Amendment rights,” Levinson added. The top Republican in the New Mexico Senate, Greg Baca of Belen, also denounced Lujan Grisham’s order as an infringement on the gun rights of law-abiding citizens. Dan Lewis, who serves on the nonpartisan Albuquerque City Council, called the order an unconstitutional edict.
Levinson said she was not aware of any other governor taking a step as restrictive as Lujan Grisham. But she pointed to a proposal by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat,“I don’t think it will be a political loss for to be overturned,” Levinson said. “She can say she did everything she could but was stopped by the courts."
