TL;DR Summary

Two Republican lawmakers in New Mexico have filed a resolution to impeach Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham over her emergency public health orders that suspended the right to carry firearms in certain public places. The lawmakers accuse the governor of violating the state and federal constitutions, prompting a response from Lujan Grisham's spokesperson who criticized the move as a political stunt. The governor invoked the emergency orders in response to gun violence and has proposed a gun safety package, including a ban on assault weapons and raising the legal purchase age for all guns to 21.
