Some Liberals Criticize New Mexico Governor’s Suspension of Gun Rights

The Epoch Times Header

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.
