New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham believes she has the power to “suspend” the right from the Bill of Rights, Amendment II. She says citizens don’t feel safe in Albuquerque and the surrounding county because criminals have guns and there is a problem with gun violence. She indicates that this is an “emergency” which can only be dealt with by denying carry privileges to all law-abiding citizens in that county, leaving guns only in the hands of the outlaw criminals.
Memo to Gov. Grisham:
Criminals are intelligent and fully knowledgeable of their environment. They know what you have just done. They would certainly know it if, instead, you encouraged every law-abiding citizen to carry. The criminals would not only feel themselves surrounded, but they would also know they dare not attempt any criminal conduct.
Lesson from New Mexico history: a fully armed society is a polite and law-observing society. Start taking advantage of the law-honoring citizens who are still trying to make New Mexico a great state. Guns were one of the indispensable tools which built your state. Equip your citizens with the tools they need to remedy what you consider an emergency. Let your law enforcement officers enforce the existing laws which already criminalize murder. Don’t force those officers to start arresting your Constitutionally-informed citizens, who are your best hope for peace, prosperity and justice.
You should also know that most of your LE officers, including Albuquerque police Chief Harold Medina, will not follow you in violating their oaths to the Constitution, and will not themselves break the law. Amend your emergency order before more New Mexico citizens get killed. Your action is a recipe for death and lawlessness.
Many Republicans pride themselves on their chess-playing acumen. Dems write a tax increase bill, GOP players write one that doesn't increase taxes, and say, "We'll just checkmate these revolutionaries and WIN this one." Sometimes they do. But Since the Goldwater days, they've been whipped 90 percent of the time. So they study chess tactics harder.
In next three years, the Dems are rolling out an army of tanks. First mission: roll over every chess board and destroy them, leaving the elephants to wander around aimlessly, not knowing how to do politics.
How do we know this? Zoom calls over the last year. The Dems are done with chess.
Kunstler: "Democratic Party election ninja Marc Elias knocked himself out for two years registering new voters by the bale, as in manufacturing them. . . illegal aliens. . . homeless junkies. . . straight-up fictitious persons. . . in order to flood the zone with fake mail-in ballots, that is, in-your-face fraud. And the reason they did it was so ...
"No man is big enough to run this great Republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never intended. Tranquillity, stability, dependability—all are assured in party sponsorship. and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmal war.”
