Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and Sen. Mike Lee, both Republicans, criticized New Mexico's governor over a public health order to ban carrying guns in Albuquerque.
"As I said yesterday, the time for standard measures has passed," Lujan Grisham said Friday. "And when New Mexicans are afraid to be in crowds, to take their kids to school, to leave a baseball game — when their very right to exist is threatened by the prospect of violence at every turn — something is very wrong.
"news of the public health order on social media, saying that while he supports gun safety laws, Lujan Grisham's actions were unconstitutional. "No state in the union can suspend the federal Constitution. There is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution," he said."This is correct," Cox said. "The New Mexico order is clearly unconstitutional and I appreciate a Democrat that is willing to push back."
