A gun rights group sued New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) and other state officials on Saturday over an emergency order banning firearms from being carried in public in Albuquerque.

The National Association for Gun Rights, alongside Albuquerque resident Foster Haines, filed suit just one day after Grisham announced the public health order temporarily suspending concealed and open carry laws in the city.

The group argued that the order violates their Second Amendment rights, pointing to the Supreme Court’s decision last year in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

    Slippery slope, this shows other states they can do the same thing towards other rights that you might not like. Next thing you know it’s the wild west with each state doing what they want.

      Funny enough, the wild West regularly banned the carrying of handguns within city limits.

      It’s why there was a shootout at the O.K. Corral.

        In Tombstone, it was illegal to carry a deadly weapon without a permit.

        To Provide against Carrying of Deadly Weapons
        Section 1. It is hereby declared unlawful to carry in the hand or upon the person or otherwise any deadly weapon within the limits of said city of Tombstone, without first obtaining a permit in writing.
        Section 2: This prohibition does not extend to persons immediately leaving or entering the city, who, with good faith, and within reasonable time are proceeding to deposit, or take from the place of deposit such deadly weapon.
        Section 3: All fire-arms of every description, and bowie knives and dirks, are included within the prohibition of this ordinance.
        — Tombstone City Ordinance Number 9 Effective April 19, 1881

        That’s not that different from requiring someone to obtain a license to carry.

      The entire idea behind state’s rights.

        No, not like that! It should only be about things that don’t affect me! Like enslaving minorities!

      Slippery slope,

      That’s a logical fallacy. We are already seeing states impose their will illegally against minority groups.

      There have been other states that don’t allow carrying guns in public for a long long time.

        And they passed laws for that, which is following the process if thats the will of the people. Downvote me all you want, but a single person declaring an unconstitutional emergency will lead to crazier shit like too many fraud ballots so we shutting down all voting in this area.

        As of now guns rights like all other rights should be defended whether you like them or not unless you don’t mid your other rights being curtailed too one day.

          Except the 2nd amendment wasn’t always interpreted to mean that people can carry guns with no to very little restrictions. At the time guns had a one shot action. You couldn’t shoot up a crowd and kill fifty people within a few seconds. The current interpretation of civilians owning and carrying guns during every day life is very recent.

      The people cheering this on would be LIVID if a Republican Governor unilaterally suspended all abortions in a state by declaring abortion a “public health” emergency.

      These people have no idea what they’re cheering on.

          You don’t need an AR-15 to defend your home, just go on the porch with a double barreled fetus and fire a shot into the air!

        This is the same people who want to stack the courts or end the filibuster. They’re short sighted idiots.

          Except the court size has changed at least a few times in our nation’s history. Guess those people were short sighted, too. You’re right about the filibuster. We just need to all band together to vote out Republicans, fix our government, and ban all gerrymandering.
