U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Recently, facing mounting pressure to re-open New Mexico businesses and litigation filed by NRA-ILA, the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association, and other pro-Second Amendment organizations, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham extended her emergency executive stay-at-home order until Friday, May 15. However, she amended the order to allow gun stores and shooting ranges to operate by appointment-only, effective Friday, May 1. Language from her order:
“Federally licensed firearm dealers may operate to the extent necessary to conduct background checks and to allow individuals to take possession of firearms that were ordered online or through other remote means. They shall provide these services by appointment only. They shall provide these services by appointment only. [sic] Shooting ranges may open by appointment and shall ensure that appropriate social distancing measures are in place.”
NRA issued the following statement after the governor’s announcement:
“The governor’s announcement today was a first step toward restoring the self-defense and Second Amendment rights of New Mexicans — rights she unlawfully, unilaterally and carelessly stripped away when she ordered the closure of all gun stores last month. The NRA will not stop until the rights of all law-abiding New Mexicans are fully restored.”

Wayne actually spent NRA money wisely to protect our rights instead of wasting 42 million on a failed TV station? Now if we can get the idea of our money being his money out of his head.
