Both Michelle Lujan Grisham and Raul Torrez are Democrats.
Demonstrators display open carry firearms at a Sept. 12, 2023 Second Amendment protest in Albuquerque, N.M. 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.
Alicia Otero, whose son was killed in 2021, held a poster that included a photo of 24-year-old Elias Otero and the words"I blame the shooter! Not the gun!" Lujan Grisham said Friday she was compelled to suspend the open and concealed carry of guns because of recent killings. Those include the deaths of an 11-year-old outside a minor league baseball stadium in Albuquerque and a 13-year-old in Taos County.
"Hearing gunshots outside your home in Albuquerque is kind of the norm now," said Viscoli."There has been a spike in gun violence in New Mexico and we're at a breaking point." Several lawsuits have been filed. A U.S. District Court judge in Albuquerque is scheduled to hear motions for a temporary restraining order Wednesday afternoon.
