Controversy Erupts as New Mexico Governor Implements Temporary Gun Ban

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's emergency order to suspend the right to carry firearms in most public places around Albuquerque has sparked outrage and legal challenges. Gun owners, state Republican lawmakers, civil rights advocates, and even some within her own party have criticized the move as unconstitutional and an infringement on the rights of law-abiding citizens. The sheriff and top prosecutor of Bernalillo County, which includes Albuquerque, have vowed not to enforce the order, while gun rights groups have filed federal lawsuits to block its implementation. GOP lawmakers have proposed impeachment proceedings against the governor, and gun-toting protesters have held rallies in opposition.
