The federal judiciary may dash Michelle Lujan Grisham’s dream to make herself a tyrannical potentate. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
Has the trial balloon just popped?
A federal judge in Albuquerque has blocked part of New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s ‘public health emergency’ to disarm law abiding citizens who wish to carry firearms either open or concealed in public.
The ruling comes after both the state AG and various other officials said they’d refuse to enforce it, AP reports.
The ruling Wednesday by U.S. District Judge David Urias marks a setback for Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham as she responds to several recent shootings that took the lives of children, including an 11-year-old boy as he left a minor league baseball game in Albuquerque. –AP
The order has been slammed on both sides of the aisle, as even gun-grabbing Democrats like Ted Lieu called it unconstitutional, and far-left rag Slate says it’s “already backfiring.”
Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of America Inc, the National Association for Gun Rights and We The Patriots USA filed several legal challenges on behalf of several Bernalillo County gun owners. On Wednesday, Judge Urias heard arguments from plaintiffs seeking a temporary restraining order that blocks the governor’s measure. -The Independent
According to Gun Owners of America senior VP, Erich Pratt, “We are ecstatic that Judge Urias agreed with us that Governor Grisham simply can’t trash the Constitution whenever she sees fit. Gun Owners of America will continue pressing to extend this Temporary Restraining Order into a permanent order. And we will not rest until all those in New Mexico who played a role in this action are held accountable for this gross assault on our rights.“
