An Assault on Bill of Rights<\/a><\/p>\n

The people of New Mexico \u2014 and, we fear, the people of the United States \u2014 owe Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina a real debt of gratitude.<\/p>\n

Medina has stated unequivocally that his department will not enforce an unconstitutional \u201cemergency order\u201d by Michelle Lujan Grisham, the governor of New Mexico, to suspend the right of her constituents to lawfully carry firearms.<\/p>\n

The governor\u2019s order is in response to a spate of shootings in New Mexico\u2019s largest city.<\/p>\n

\u201cA child is murdered, the perpetrator is still on the loose, and what does the governor do? She \u2026 targets law-abiding citizens with an unconstitutional gun order,\u201d state Sen. Greg Baca, the ranking Republican in New Mexico\u2019s state Senate, told the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what her thought process was that she suddenly thought she could trample the Second Amendment,\u201d state Rep. Stefani Lord told KOAT Channel 7 of Albuquerque at a protest against the governor\u2019s order.<\/p>\n

The move by Grisham is excessive. It violates the Bill of Rights and it is exactly the sort of escalation that Americans who defend the Second Amendment fear and warn their friends, neighbors and family about when other measures to curtail gun owners\u2019 rights are debated.<\/p>\n

Even proponents of gun control, including activist David Hogg and U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., recognizes that Grisham\u2019s order tramples Constitutional rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cI support gun safety laws,\u201d Lieu said on social media, according to a Fox News report. \u201cHowever, this order from the Governor of New Mexico violates the U.S. Constitution. No state in the union can suspend the federal Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

We appreciate the congressman speaking out against this violation of the Second Amendment just as we appreciate the police chief\u2019s recognition that his department has no authority to join the governor in violating the Constitution. We hope the rebukes and reprimands are swift and severe enough that this infringement does not spread from the Land of Enchantment to our other 49 states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
