"New Mexico Governor Implements Temporary Gun Ban: Key Details"

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued a public health order banning the carrying of firearms in parts of the state, including Albuquerque, due to a recent increase in violent crime. The order applies to all public places and will expire after 30 days unless extended. Local police have expressed opposition to the measure, citing concerns about violating the Second Amendment. A Second Amendment rights advocacy group has already filed a lawsuit against the ban. Members of both parties have criticized the order, with Republicans also focusing on the governor's immigration policy. Governor Grisham has defended her decision, stating that she has jurisdiction over state laws regarding conceal and open carry.
