A gun rights group sued New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) and other state officials on Saturday over an emergency order banning firearms from being carried in public in Albuquerque.

The National Association for Gun Rights, alongside Albuquerque resident Foster Haines, filed suit just one day after Grisham announced the public health order temporarily suspending concealed and open carry laws in the city.

The group argued that the order violates their Second Amendment rights, pointing to the Supreme Court’s decision last year in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

    You aren’t wrong (necessarily).

    Drug laws are the biggest one to me. People should have the right to destroy themselves if they are witting and prepared.

    Cops already disregard the law depending on their own opinion. Going 5 mph over the speed limit is either a deduction on your license or a fine , depending on the cop.

    What would be considered a lawful use of capital punishment is dependent on the cop, defending their evaluation of self-defence.

    Cops have the legality and opportunity to alter their decisions, which means cops choose to enforce laws that disregard social normality or morality.

    Also: This is America.

    Half the country considers abortion murder and police violence as retribution. I wish we could simply change the way we do things to fit my or the average person’s opinion, but we’re a big country with a lot of people.
