The Second Amendment Foundation is among several groups and individuals involved in a consolidated appeal of a lower court ruling in the challenge of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s emergency order last September which suspended Second Amendment rights in Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County.
The case is being appealed to the Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado. SAF’s case is known as Fort v. Grisham. SAF is joined by the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association, Firearms Policy Coalition and Bernalillo County resident Zachary Fort, for whom the case is named. They are represented by Jordon George of Aragon Moss George Jenkins, LLP who has also filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. The lawsuit and motion were filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico. He is joined by attorneys David H. Thompson, Peter A. Patterson and Kate Hardiman at Cooper & Kirk in Washington, D.C.
“The issues in this case are clear,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. “Last September, Gov. Lujan Grisham acted without any input from the State Legislature and unilaterally decided the entire city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County are one big ‘sensitive area.’ She declared lawful firearms carry in those areas was suspended, in direct violation of the Second Amendment. We immediately filed a lawsuit, as did several other groups and organizations, and our cases are all consolidated in the appeal process.”
“Despite retreating from her original order after the district court issued a temporary restraining order,” noted SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut, “Gov. Lujan Grisham continues to enforce her ban on carrying in parks and playgrounds, insisting it to be constitutional. She is wrong because this carry restriction is fundamentally incompatible with the Second Amendment.”
The consolidated appeal involves three separate cases, involving six organizations including SAF and its colleagues, and three private citizens.

You just cannot not cut in line. Debbie must be heard!!!
Fyi Us literate folk do read all the way down Deb
AQ,
Don’t you know, AQ, that the First Amendment clearly states that ” . . . and everyone is entitled to Debbie Dipsh*t’s own opinion”? Debbie thinks she’s a wit, and she’s half right.
Oh, and repetitive, I should not forget repetitive – Debbie Dipsh*t will post the same three or four videos ENDLESSLY.
ATTEMPTED to “suspended Second Amendment rights”. This wacko gov has no such power.
What is wrong with NM? Not even bordering on Komiffornia. Is it Colorado’s influence?
There was an influx of the ‘artist’ type folks that did NM in… 🙁
New Mexico has always been corrupt from the very beginning. Arizona is thriving. Texas is thriving. NM is floundering. It is that simple.
Fight like your life depends on it because it does🙄
The best thing to do right now is to simply ignore any of these unconstitutional laws and treat anyone trying to vilolate your rights as an enemy. Law enforcement and politicians all take an oath to support the constitution and if they violate that oath they should be fair game for retribution plain and simple. Its time we stopped letting them bully the law abiding American Public and started to fight back as they are doing in Texas. Enough of these games and lawless acts. It’s time to fight back.
When your campaign is supported by Soros and possibly the Messcan drug cartels you feel empowered to be the tyrant you always have yearned to be. These politicians need to be arrested and convicted for treason via abuse of the powers of office and once they go to prison a lot of this bullshlt will stop.
The majority of New Mexico has drunk the kool-aid. Time to cut ties with this state. Let them all burn in Hell – head first.
