NRA Statement on New Mexico Governor’s Announcement

New Mexico Take Action
New Mexico NRA State Direction, Tara Reilly Mica, released a statement opposing mandated gun store closings in NM.

Fairfax, VA -(AmmoLand.com)- The New Mexico state director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, Tara Reilly Mica, on Thursday released the following statement in response to New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lugan Grisham’s announcement regarding mandated gun store closures.

“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.”​

This was in response to New Mexico Governor Grisham wasting resources closing down gun shops during the pandemic against the orders of President Trump. Full info below from the NRA.

In response to the Covid 19 outbreak, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered the closure of all businesses she doesn’t consider “Essential.”  The Governor did not designate firearm stores as “essential,” but many remained open because the Governor’s order did not explicitly order them closed.  Your NRA-ILA has now learned that Governor Grisham is making her anti-gun proclivities clear by tasking the State Patrol with driving by gun stores and telling dealers that they are, and will remain, closed to the public.  New Mexico residents are encouraged to contact their local firearms dealers to inquire about the potential to make online purchases while the Governor’s order remains in effect.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring state of Colorado, gun stores have been listed as critical businesses and are allowed to operate.  The same is true in many states throughout the country.  This action by the Governor is not just anti-gun, but fails to consider the need for safety and security in these uncertain times.  Please contact Governor Grisham at 505-476-2200 and ask her to please respect our right to self-defense and leave gun stores alone.​

The real plague/sickness that is infecting New Mexico.

When politicians “push too far”, sooner or later, Americans will “push back hard”.

Scratch a Democrat and find a dictator wannabe underneath – every time.

Contacting a self-serving politician or bureaucrat to comply with the law is like asking a fox
guard the chickens for their safety. It’s time to stop these idiots, but asking them is fruitless. I live in California, so I should know.

Damn, how I wish some one would doo a little bit of Proof Checking before they run their copy !!

Breitbart has the same problem with proofreaders. Even if using spell check as you type, “gunshops” and “gunships” are both legitimate, so only a human eyeball would know if one was wrong in the sentence.

Hey I want a gunship
