New Mexico’s governor has ignited a firestorm after she suspended the right to carry guns around Albuquerque
Customers filed in and out of Mark Abramson’s gun shop on the outskirts of Albuquerque as outrage grew over the governor’s order to suspend the right to carry firearms to address what she said is an epidemic of gun violence.
Several lawsuits have been filed, along with requests to block the order. No hearings have been scheduled yet in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque. “Now she’s punishing us for the problem she created,” he said, adding that the perpetual violence in Albuquerque has left residents scared to walk to their cars to go to work in the mornings.“As governor, it’s my job to take action and put New Mexicans’ safety first — not complain about problems we are elected to solve,” she said in a social media post over the weekend on X, formerly known as Twitter.
