When New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan-Grisham, a communist/globalist, announced she was overriding the Second Amendment and banning gun rights in Bernallilo County, the local sheriff did not respond favorably.
This from wndnewscenter.org.
In fact, Sheriff John Allen said the governor’s order is unconstitutional.
🚨 HOLY MOLY: Democrat @BCSONM Sheriff John Allen said the governor sidelined him in the Friday press conference, where she announced she would remove BernCo residents' gun rights via executive order. He said the governor's "unconstitutional" order does "nothing but disarm…

Now there has been some reaction from others, who did not treat the governor as politely as the sheriff did.
According to a report in the Blaze:
The Governor’s suspension of open and concealed carry laws prompted:
[D]ozens of gun rights activists gathered in Old Town Albuquerque to voice their displeasure with Gov. Grisham’s 30-day suspension of open and concealed carry laws that went into effect in the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County.
The report noted:
Many of the protesters openly displayed their firearms in a deliberate defiance of Grisham’s decree.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, (C/G-NM)
According to the report:
A man was holding a sign addressed to Grisham that read:
Our founding fathers warned us about you.
A woman was holding a sign that stated:
Gun rights are women’s rights.
The protesters’ bottom line—based on what one protester said–is:
We will not comply!
Ford Fischer of News2Share posted a video from the protest on YouTube in which he explained:
One speaker at the armed rally in Albuquerque defying the gun carrying ban told the crowd that they need to go out and do this every day, or else it wouldn’t have an impact.
While the police didn’t enforce the order, it includes a $5000 fine for violators.
The report explained:
[T]he governor claims there’s a public health emergency, and that’s why gun rights are being suspended.
A lawsuit has been filed by the National Association for Gun Rights against the governor’s attempt to restrict gun owners.
The suit states:
The state must justify the Carry Prohibition by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.
But it is impossible for the State to meet this burden, because there is no such historical tradition of firearms regulation in this Nation.
Final thought: The next logical step will be impeachment of the governor for her violation of our U.S. Constitution.
