Stop the Governor's Unconstitutional Power Grab & Take Action to Address Crime!
The Governor has attempted to nullify the State and Federal Constitution by ending the carrying of firearms in Bernalillo County. Under her latest Public Health Order, she initially declared that no one can possess a firearm, open or concealed, in public in Bernalillo County for the next 30 days. This order directly contradicts our constitutional right to carry a firearm outside our homes for self-defense. After universal rejection of this 'order' and a court mandate, she now says the ban only applies to certain areas in Albuquerque.
Even if someone is licensed to carry a concealed firearm the 'health order' prohibits it. NM State Police have been ordered to enforce the order with civil sanctions to include a $5,000 fine.
To top it off, the governor is doubling down on her belief that she has ultimate power, mocking and degrading those (even from her own party like NM Attorney General Raul Torrez) who point out how wrong she is. She is also refusing to call a legislative special session to address 'catch and release' and other crime related legislation that would help with the Crime Crises.
If the governor is allowed to trample 2nd Amendment rights - what's next? The governor should focus her attention on criminals, not law-abiding citizens and call a special session to pass meaningful bail reform and toughen other laws. There are checks and balances that give our state lawmakers the ability to stop the governor's unlawful behavior. Use the form provided to tell the NM legislators to immediately respond to her unconstitutional power grab and to take action necessary to convene a legislative session!
