In a recent move that has sparked controversy, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency public health order that bans guns for 30 days in Albuquerque. The governor claims that this action is necessary due to the increasing gun crime in the city. However, this decision has not been received well by everyone.
One of the most vocal critics of Governor Grisham’s ban is Elon Musk, who took to social media to express his dissatisfaction. In a post on X, Musk stated that Grisham was “illegally” violating the Second Amendment. He called her actions a deliberate violation of the Constitution and questioned how soon she can be removed from office.
As a conservative Republican, it is refreshing to see people like Elon Musk speaking out against government overreach. The Second Amendment is a fundamental right that should not be infringed upon. Governor Grisham’s gun ban is a clear violation of our constitutional rights and sets a dangerous precedent.
The Governor of New Mexico has just declared the 1st & 2nd Amendment “does not exist” due to an “emergency.”
Under this legal theory *all* of our “rights” are essentially eliminated.

Furthermore, New Mexico state representative John Block (R-51) has joined the chorus of voices criticizing Governor Grisham. Block has even gone as far as calling for her impeachment. It is heartening to see elected officials standing up for the rights of their constituents and fighting against unconstitutional actions.
Governor Grisham’s justification for the gun ban is flawed. While she argues that it will help combat gun crime, it is important to remember that criminals do not follow the law. Banning guns will only disarm law-abiding citizens and leave them vulnerable to criminals. Gun control measures like these do not make us safer; they only serve to strip us of our rights.
In conclusion, Governor Grisham’s gun ban in Albuquerque is a clear violation of the Second Amendment. It is encouraging to see individuals like Elon Musk and state representative John Block speaking out against this overreach of government power. It is crucial that we continue to defend our constitutional rights and stand up against those who seek to erode them.
