Gun owners staged a defiant protest of the suspension of open and concealed carry laws by New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham – a Democrat.
On Sunday afternoon, dozens of gun rights activists gathered in Old Town Albuquerque to voice their displeasure with Gov Grisham’s 30-day suspension of open and concealed carry laws that went into effect in the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. Many of the protestors openly displayed their firearms in a deliberate defiance of Grisham’s decree.
Protesters proudly displayed American, Gadsden, and “Come and Take It” flags. A man was holding a sign addressed to Grisham that read: “Our founding fathers warned us about you.” A woman was holding a sign that stated: “Gun rights are women’s rights.”
A demonstrator proclaimed, “This will not stand. We will not comply!”
A woman identifying as an indigenous person told the crowd, “The law doesn’t protect us!”
