David Hogg Blasts New Mexico Governor’s Ban on Concealed Carry

( Breitbart )

Gun control activist David Hogg used a post on X to slam New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s (D) ban on carrying handguns in public in cities such as Albuquerque.

Grisham issued her order Friday, September 8, and it went into effect the same day, Breitbart News reported. The ban applies to handguns carried openly or concealed in public and the prohibition also bars concealed carry permit holders from carrying their guns for self-defense.

Hogg reacted to the order with an X post in which he said, “I support gun safety but there is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution.”

Elon Musk also reacted to Grisham’s order by suggesting it violates the Constitution.

Musk put a post on X in which he said, “At risk of stating what should be obvious, deliberately violating the Constitution is next-level illegal. How soon can this person be removed from office?”

The National Association for Gun Rights has already filed suit against Grisham’s order, Breitbart News noted.

On Saturday, Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman made it clear that he will not be enforcing Grisham’s ban on concealed carry. “As an officer of the court, I cannot and will not enforce something that is clearly unconstitutional,” Bregman said Saturday.

He added, “This office will continue to focus on criminals of any age that use guns in the commission of a crime.”
