New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has caught flak from gun control activists and at least one member of her own party for her Sept. 8 executive order that includes suspending concealed and open carry of firearms for 30 days in the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County.

In a Sept. 9 post on X, gun control activist David Hogg wrote that he supports the governorโ€™s desire to promote gun safety, but not at the cost of a constitutional right.

โ€œI support gun safety, but there is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution,โ€ his post reads.

A spokesperson for the governorโ€™s office did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

Mr. Hogg also repeated a post from Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.).

โ€œWhether or not we agree with it, the Supreme Courtโ€™s decisions regarding the Constitution are the law of the land,โ€ Mr. Lieu wrote.

When challenged about the post, Mr. Lieu cited last yearโ€™s Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol v. Bruen, in which the court held that Americans have a constitutional right to carry a gun in public.

In a follow-up post, Mr. Hogg compared the Republican Party to a cult that demands complete allegiance. He wrote that was the difference between Republicans and Democrats.

โ€œIf anybody steps out of line with the Republican Party or dares to call out trump (sic), it ends their career,โ€ Mr. Hogg wrote. โ€œWe are liberal in the literal sense and not just political. We openly talk about different views, and I appreciate our openness to do so.

โ€œItโ€™s a good rule of thumb to make sure you never agree with someone 100% because no one is ever all ways (sic) right, especially me.โ€

Several posters from both sides of the aisle criticized Mr. Hogg.

Conservatives expressed surprise that they agreed with him on this point. One offered to talk further.

โ€œThis is great. Would love to discuss guns and 2A with you,โ€ wrote Tim Pool, social media influencer and host of the Tim IRL podcast.
