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.
Then make it a fine punishable by 10% of your yearly income. Sure, you can carry a gun in the town, but if they catch you with it, you’re gonna pay a stiff penalty.
“Only the rich deserve the right to protect themselves, fuck poor people.”
-You.
Still criminalizing simply carrying a gun, a practice often done by people who don’t use them criminally, which still primarily affects the poor and disenfranchised in marginalized over-policed neighborhoods, and even if the fine is $5, idk about you but I can’t afford a day off of work and court fees on top of that. Luckily I do have a car to get to court but not everyone is so lucky.
Of any debates or criticism or discussion you could possibly make…making a penalty that has no effect of an unemployed person that’s most likely to mug or rob a person for having a gun by far has to be the stupidest most illogical thing you could have said. I can recognize or accept different viewpoints, but you’re just a moron.
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.
