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 is a very misleading link.

    Yes, sometimes CC holders commit violent crimes, and with millions of them out there the list is gonna be long.

    But the rate at which they commit gun crimes is way, way below the average person.

    If you’re in a crowd with 9 carry license holders and one random person and you get shot, odds are it was the person without the license that shot you.
