Bill Summary
RESOLUTION Condemning the actions of Governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, for subverting the Second Amendment to the Constitution and depriving the citizens of New Mexico of their right to bear arms.
AI Summary
This Resolution condemns the actions of New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham for what is described as subverting the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. Specifically, the Resolution criticizes an emergency public health order issued by the Governor on September 8, 2023, that temporarily suspended the right of New Mexicans to carry firearms openly or concealed, imposing fines of up to $5,000 for violations and directing law enforcement to apprehend violators. The Resolution cites Supreme Court rulings, including *District of Columbia v. Heller* and *McDonald v. City of Chicago*, which affirmed an individual's right to bear arms for self-defense, and notes that the New Mexico Attorney General and a federal judge have also expressed concerns or blocked parts of the order, highlighting that the Governor herself stated that no constitutional right is intended to be absolute, which the Resolution argues contradicts her oath to uphold the Constitution.
