In a surprising move, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has filed a lawsuit against the state of New Mexico and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. The NRA announced the legal action via a tweet on its official Twitter account on September 14, 2023.
The NRA has accused Governor Lujan Grisham of infringing upon the Second Amendment rights of New Mexico residents. The lawsuit alleges that the state’s recent gun control measures are unconstitutional and violate the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
Specific details of the lawsuit have not yet been made public, but it is expected that the NRA will challenge several pieces of legislation enacted by the state of New Mexico. These measures include expanded background checks for firearm sales, a ban on high-capacity magazines, and a red flag law that allows for the temporary removal of firearms from individuals deemed to be a risk to themselves or others.
The NRA’s decision to sue New Mexico comes amidst a nationwide debate over gun control and the role of firearms in society. Advocates for stricter gun laws argue that such measures are necessary to prevent mass shootings and protect public safety. However, opponents, including the NRA, argue that these laws infringe upon the rights of responsible gun owners and do little to prevent crime.
It is unclear at this time how the lawsuit will proceed and what impact it may have on New Mexico’s gun control legislation..
