New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency public health order temporarily suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County.
If you asked me what, say, the 20 most dangerous cities in America were, Albuquerque would not even be on my radar. But apparently it should be.
You obviously haven’t seen Breaking Bad…
I mean, I don’t base my impression of a real city from its fictional version or I’d have never set one foot in Baltimore due to The Wire.
Well I’d avoid New York due to all those alien invasions etc.
London is a lot worse in that respect. The first time I saw the Westminster Bridge in London in person, I was surprised to not see any Cybermen walking across it.
Yeah, but you might get to get a selfie with Thor!

That is fair lmao
My first day visiting Albuquerque, I was in pizza parlor picking up an order, and the news was on a TV nearby. They were covering the arrest of this cracked out looking couple. The lady behind the counter then explained to me that it was a big local story because those two had tortured and murdered their daughter. Its also the cartheftt capital.
I haven’t been back.
It’s the great drug corridor and it’s got lots and lots of surrounding desert to disappear people, but I live in New Mexico and I go to ABQ a lot and never felt in danger. There are areas I definitely wouldn’t go but that’s just like any city
It’s kinda taken a wrong turn.

Struck down as unconstitutional in 3… 2… 1…
Politicians like them know what they’re doing is unlawful, but they also know that it takes time for courts to strike them down.
Until there’s actual punishment for issuing blatantly illegal orders or laws (gun related or not) this will continue happening.
Which is kind of nuts because some states did not allow open or concealed carry when the country was founded.
I foresee the number of guns in Albuquerque to increase
Oh this is going to go well.
A.L.B.U.KERKEE
Had my tray table up, and .y seat back in the full upright position!
All this is going to do is waste money on lawsuits that could be used to benefit the people.
When in reality this won’t do anything to slow down crime in Albuquerque. The most murders done in Albuquerque is by the police. Targeting legal gun owners won’t stop criminals from carrying firearms. Weaponizing the health system to deny constitutional rights really worked out well in the past.
I’m so glad I moved in 2020 from a city/county that is fine with police burning kids alive in their homes because they think a criminal is inside.
Targeting legal gun owners won’t stop criminals from carrying firearms.
I hate this talking point. You could say that about practically any law. “Targeting legal car owners won’t stop criminals from drunk driving” or even “targeting factories won’t stop some of them from criminally polluting.” That’s not the point. The point is to add charges once they’re caught to maximize their sentence.
