NMSSA Update September 21, 2023

 

The last two weeks have been a tumultuous time for New Mexico gun owners to say the least, but here is an update on where we stand today with our lawsuit, and more resources if you want a deeper dive into everything that is happening. First, our lawsuit and the Temporary Restraining Order are still in place. The governor has amended her public health order, but we have not withdrawn our lawsuit and the hearing on October 3rd for the injunction is still scheduled to happen.We commissioned a poll through a professional polling firm on how the New Mexico electorate views her order, and we found broad, bipartisan opposition to her order. We also found that 91% of New Mexicans believed the problem with crime is criminals, not guns. This may sound obvious to you, but this is the message the governor and legislators need to hear. We will utilize this data to make our case in future legislative sessions. KOAT, the ABC news affiliate in Albuquerque, covered the poll and the governor's response to it.If you want more details on how our lawsuit is proceeding, Adam Kraut with Second Amendment Foundation, one of our lawsuit partners, was on The Weekly Reload Podcast where he went more into detail on the lawsuit. I also went on the Rio Grande Foundation's podcast where I discussed our lawsuit, New Mexico's crime crisis, and why it is so critical to stop executive overreach.

I could not do that. The votes weren't here.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffI-tWh37UY Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke (September 12, 2019): "Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW1HPoqqB_8 "...David Muir asked O'Rourke: "Are you proposing taking away their guns?"

FBI Director Candidate Wray’s Adopting Language of Left on Guns Merits Further Scrutiny

Will Wray swear an oath to enforce “commonsense” gun legislation or to “support and defend the Constitution”? (Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing/YouTube) July 13, 2017 Attorney Christopher Wray, President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation, gave a response to a “gun control” question in Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that raises flags for right to keep and bear arms advocates.  Per The Daily Signal , Wray was being “pressed” by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. “on whether he would back universal background checks for gun buyers.” Wray tried to get around specifics at first, talking in general terms about “efforts to deal with gun violence” and how he “would want to take a look at any specific legislative proposal and get back to you once I have evaluated [it].” But Blumenthal, as committed an  enemy of the Second Amendment  as ever put one hand on a Bible, raised the other and proceeded to lie though his teeth, was intent on scoring poin
