A gun rights group sued New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) and other state officials on Saturday over an emergency order banning firearms from being carried in public in Albuquerque.

The National Association for Gun Rights, alongside Albuquerque resident Foster Haines, filed suit just one day after Grisham announced the public health order temporarily suspending concealed and open carry laws in the city.

The group argued that the order violates their Second Amendment rights, pointing to the Supreme Court’s decision last year in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

    That’s literally what they did in Tombstone.

    The fine was $25 dollars in 1870. In 2023 that’s the equivalent of $583.38.

    Yep. I’m the stupid one alright.

      And what percentage of their income was a fixed fine of $25? Yes. You’re the stupid one.

        5% of their yearly income. That is still huge. I make 100k and a 5% fine would be $5,000.

        No thanks. That would definitely make me keep my pistola home.

        Have a good day. You seem to be upset about something, what with all the insults and whatnot you keep throwing out. Go smoke a joint or rub one out. Peace out.
