New Mexico state representatives Stefani Lord and John Block are calling for the impeachment of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham after Grisham issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in and around Albuquerque, the state’s largest city.

The governor on Friday issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days amid a spate of gun violence.

“This is an abhorrent attempt at imposing a radical, progressive agenda on an unwilling populace. Rather than addressing crime at its core, Governor Grisham is restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners,” the statement from Lord read.

Grisham said she felt compelled to act in response to gun deaths, including the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.

What does well-regulated mean to you? Seems interesting you left that off.

Back when the second amendment was written people owned slaves and poured their piss in the street. What’s your point?

The New Mexico constitution also has a right to bear arms and it's not specified for a militia. Article 6 part 2:

No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.

“No municipality or county” the state is neither.

Like I said earlier, this doesn’t have to live forever. Just long enough (is probably the thinking)

I know the history and modern interpretation.

then stop gaslighting people on the internet

And as we know something that is well-regulated only refers to it being in physical working order, not following any sort of rules or order, right? Cause the interpretation that the second amendment protects the unfettered right of individual gun ownership is not very old.

Also we should amend the constitution to repeal the second amendment because it’s a moral harm on our society.

I left it off because it has 0 impact on "the right of the people".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes I too find life much easier when I ignore the inconvenient words

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Please explain then. This is not the right of the militia to keep and bear arms, it's the right of the people. They are two distinct sentences. Please tell me how the militia has any impact on "the right of the people to keep and bear arms".

There's nothing inconvenient about those.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The second amendment is only one sentence...

The founders wanted the militias to provide the bulk of the country's defense and to not have a standing army. Anyone who owned a gun had to register it so that it could be verified to be in working order in case a militia needed to be formed. That whole idea of having the militia provide for our defense failed pretty quickly when several uncoordinated militias got their asses handed to them by Natives in the Northwest Territory. The federal government moved towards having an actual standing army and the role of militias shrunk.

They’re not two sentences lol. The second amendment is all one big, convoluted sentence my guy.
