Governor announces statewide enforcement plan for gun violence, fentanyl reduction – Plan includes 30-day suspension of concealed, open carry in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County

By Press Releases – State of New Mexico Office of the Governor

SANTA FE – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced on Friday a new public health order that outlines immediate actions aimed at quickly reducing gun violence and illegal drug use in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County.

The recent shooting deaths of a thirteen-year-old girl on July 28, a five-year-old girl on August 14, and an eleven-year-old boy on September 6, as well as two mass shootings this year spurred the governor to declare gun violence a public health emergency on Thursday. Today’s public health order includes directives to curb the gun violence and drug abuse that the Governor has declared to be public health emergencies.

“As I said yesterday, the time for standard measures has passed,” said Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. “And when New Mexicans are afraid to be in crowds, to take their kids to school, to leave a baseball game – when their very right to exist is threatened by the prospect of violence at every turn – something is very wrong.”

During a substantive and earnest conversation on Friday with public safety officials including District Attorney Sam Bregman, Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen, Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina, former State Police Chief Pete Kassetas, and state law enforcement leadership, the governor expanded on her plans to drastically reduce the number of violent incidents and fentanyl-related deaths in New Mexico.

The governor also on Friday signed an executive order declaring illegal drugs a public health emergency.

The action plan includes a suspension of open and concealed carry laws in Bernalillo County, temporarily prohibiting the carrying of guns on public property with certain exceptions. Exceptions include for licensed security guards and law enforcement officers. Citizens with permits to carry firearms are free to possess their weapons on private property (such as at a gun range or gun store), provided they transport the firearm in a locked box, use a trigger lock, or some other mechanism that renders the gun incapable of being fired.

The public health order also directs:

– The Regulation and Licensing Division to conduct monthly inspections of licensed firearm dealers to ensure compliance with all sales and storage laws.
– The Department of Health, along with the Environment Department, to begin wastewater testing for illegal substances such as fentanyl at schools.
– The Department of Health to compile and issue a comprehensive report on gunshot victims presenting at hospitals in New Mexico, which shall include (if available): demographic data of gunshot victims, including age, gender, race, and ethnicity; data on gunshot victim’s healthcare outcomes; the brand and caliber of the firearm used; the general circumstances leading to the injury; the impact of gunshot victims on New Mexico’s healthcare system; and any other pertinent information.
– A prohibition on firearms on state property, including state buildings and schools. This also includes other places of education where children gather, such as parks.

– The State Police to add officers in Albuquerque with funding for overtime provided.
– The Children, Youth and Families Department to immediately suspend the Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative and evaluate juvenile probation protocols.

The orders signed go into effect immediately.

    1. And there’s more… Sorry about the words “Constitition” and “Amendment.” The ignorant have much to learn, but who hasn’t at some time or other been ignorant about something? Ha! And too bad he calls for “PEACEFUL non-compliance” toward the end. Second Article puts it all to rest. But oh my, how they dance around it. Well, we’ll just keep putting it back on the dance floor; eventually all will dance to the beat of freedom.

      Anyone who complies with illegal, unconstitutional edicts like the one just announced by New Mexico’s governor is complicit in America’s slide into totalitarianism:

    2. That link to the post regarding David Hogg on Gateway Pundit…I was gonna post it, but you already did. Thanks! If even that gun-grabber Hogg opposes it… Or is he just posturing, as usual…. Supposedly, though, that country Sheriff will not enforce her ridiculous traitorous “executive order” crapola.

  1. #1 The second article is not a Constitutional, right, as it is not granted by or through the Constitution. The Bill of Rights is absolute law, and was already the absolute law before being attached to the Constitution that never was. The Constitution does not grant our rights, nature or God if you wish granted those unalienable rights. She says there are exceptions to the unalienable. No, you forked tonged cunt, those are not exceptions, they are called violations. They are by definition, violations. They are sedition. They are treason. To deny or disparage under a false jurisdiction is a capital crime. As for those planning an armed protest, leave your guns at home if you do not intend to shoot them. Otherwise, you are not but a beggar with a prop. This governor is prim facia guilty of capital treason, and there’s only one way to deal with that.

    1. Well said Henry. I was trying to get through to a sleepwalker the other day about unalienable rights. She came at me talking about her “Civil Rights”. I said “oh the ones your rulers made up for you to replace what you were born with?”. No amount of clarification worked for her. I told her to stay asleep & enjoy the dream before it turns into a nightmare…

  2. besides the fact she should be hung already we have this :
    Under New Mexico law Governor MLG has perjured herself by swearing oath to office and instituting a firearm’s carry ban and following criminal complaint is subject to arrest from your average person
    NM stat 30-25-1 (2021) A perjury consists of making a false statement under oath, affirmation or penalty of perjury , material to the issue or matter involved in the course of any judicial, administrative, legislative or other official proceeding or matter, knowing such statement to be untrue
    whoever commits perjury is guilty of a forth degree felony
    NM Stat 31-4-14 Arrest without warrant (1937)
    The arrest of a person may be lawfully made also by any peace officer or a private person without a warrant upon reasonable information that the accused stands charged in the courts of a state with a crime punishable by death or imprisonment for a term no less than one year , but when so arrested the accused must be taken before a judge or magistrate with all practicable speed and complaint must be made against him/her under oath setting forth the ground for the arrests in the preceding section [31-4-13 NMSA 1978] and thereafter his / her answer shall be heard as if he/her had been arrested on a warrant

    so People .. are you going to stand for your right to arrest this pile of shit or are we going to play this shit in each state as these evil fcks try to disarm us , here it is , their own policies to be used on our behalf … Id rather just slam her head in the Bill of Rights and hang her in the county square today at noon ..but if you wanna play nice there’s the play book
