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.

    Classic whatabout-ism:

    • “I think we need a solution to an issue”
    • “What about this completely different issue that has absolutely nothing to do with what you just said? Checkmate idiot”

      That is basically the bog standard gun nut talking point:

      “The issue isn’t all these guns being used to shoot kids that are firing rounds specifically designed to cause horrific trauma to bodies and negate the effectiveness of the body armor cops wear. The issue is that the world is not a utopia. So fix hunger, crime, wealth inequality, gender dynamics, space travel, and energy production. Then we can talk about my sick ass assault rifle”. Right wing nutbags will add on “people not having christian values” and left wing nutbags will say that any form of gun control is inherently racist.

        Instead of having all these laws, we should simply solve the problem of evil.
