New Mexico Republicans are accusing Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of undermining the Second Amendment after the communist/globalist introduced gun control proposals on Friday.
This from msn.com.
Lujan Grisham announced that a 30-day state legislative session slated to begin Tuesday that will include:
[T]he largest and most comprehensive public safety package in our state’s history.
The gun control proposals include a 14-day background check waiting period on gun purchases, prohibiting guns in polling places and parks, and a minimum age requirement of 21 years on semiautomatic firearm purchases.
The package also includes the Firearm Industry Accountability Act, which would:
[A]mend the state statue [sic] to allow gun manufacturers to be held liable for deceptive trade practices.
Lujan Grisham said at a press conference Friday:
The constitutionality questions are beginning to be very complicated in the arena of gun violence.
We are going to continue this effort, following what is going on around the country.
There will be others who will follow in our footsteps, creating their own public safety corridors, which in effect also make New Mexicans safer.
State Sen. Greg Baca, the Republican minority floor leader, accused the two-term governor of taking “a hyper-partisan turn.”
Baca said in a release:
Senate Republicans are eager to join the governor in tackling New Mexico’s crime epidemic, and to that end, we have introduced a number of commonsense solutions.
Further:
Unfortunately, today’s press conference took a hyper-partisan turn with the announcement of several anti-2nd Amendment measures targeting New Mexico gun owners who only want to protect themselves and their families.
In another statement, Steve Pearce, chairman of the Republican Party of New Mexico, called the communists’/globalists’ proposals:
[A]nother egregious attack
on New Mexicans’ Second Amendment rights.
Pearce argued in a statement:
If the governor really cares about keeping our communities safe, she will focus on giving tougher penalties to criminals, keeping criminals behind bars while supporting law enforcement and allowing them to do their job.
Republicans will be putting forth multiple bills this session that will get tough on criminals without infringing on the rights of law-abiding citizens.
Final thoughts: Not infringing on the 2A rights of law-abiding citizens and getting tough on criminals by enforcing existing laws—a sensible plan which Leftists cannot accept due to their compromised ulterior motives.
