New Mexico’s top prosecutor says he cannot undertake a defense of the governor’s public health order that suspends the right to carry firearms in public
Individuals displays open carry firearm at a Second Amendment Protest in response to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's recent public health order suspending the conceal and open carry of guns in and around Albuquerque for 30-days, Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023, in Albuquerque, N.M. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — — Some demonstrators defiantly carried holstered handguns on their hips in a Tuesday rally by gun-rights advocates, protesting Gov.
“While I understand that frustration may have led you to undertake a unilateral approach to addressing the heart-wrenching challenge of gun violence in our community, I urge you to reconsider this course of action,” said Torrez. Mark Abramson, who has a gun shop on the outskirts of Albuquerque, said a debate is long overdue on how to tackle irresponsible, unjustified shootings such as the ones in Albuquerque that led to the deaths of an 11-year-old and a teen.
Several lawsuits have been filed, along with requests to block the order. No hearings have been scheduled yet in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque. Local businessman Mike Leathers said at a Sunday rally in Albuquerque's Old Town that having more law-abiding citizens carrying firearms can deter crime. He faulted the governor for taking away that deterrent and for enacting policies that led to less accountability for criminals.
“It is quite irritating for me to see how this this 30-day ban completely overshadowed the robust conversations that we had with the governor and the office on what we are going to do to curb gun violence,” Allen said. “We had arguments. But again, we had solutions.”“We are looking for answers and solutions to this issue,” Joshua Archuleta said in a statement released Monday by his attorney.
