One thing liberals learned during covid is that during emergencies, people will do what they are told to do for the sake of society.
One thing normal people learned during covid is that politicians will lie about it being an emergency and that they will close down the country, force people to wear masks that don't do anything and push their agenda in the sake of "emergency"... and the people that did what they were told for the sake of society won't be so understanding next time.
New Mexico legislators call for impeaching Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham over temporary gun ban

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —
After Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's 30-day ban on carrying firearms in public, representatives are now calling to impeach her.
Rep. Stefani Lord and Rep. John Block announced their plan to impeach her, saying this ban is against New Mexicans' constitutional rights.
"I was completely shocked. I mean, this is no way to address a crime issue," Lord said. "She took an oath to uphold that constitution. She needs to understand that those rights are absolute. And that's why we are impeaching her, because she has committed a crime in what she is doing."
Block agrees that this is what needs to be done.
"We need to impeach her and that's something that I don't take lightly. But unfortunately, we need to do it because if we don't start here, it's going to seep through the entire nation," Block said. "We're going to have governors all across the country think that they can just throw the Constitution in a paper shredder and see it go."
However, both Democrats from the Senate and the House say something different.
New Mexico House Speaker Javier Martinez sent us this statement. "It’s absolutely critical that city, county, and state officials continue working together to prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands. While I have strong concerns about the effectiveness and enforceability of this approach, we need to be focused on moving forward solutions that actually reduce gun violence and make our communities safer."
President Pro Tempore Mimi Stewart also sent a statement in regard to the ban and the impeachment.
"We have a passionate governor who is fighting hard to keep the people in our state safe from gun violence. There’s plenty of room to debate the best pathways for doing that, but any talk of impeachment is counterproductive," Stewart said.
According to our political expert Brian Sanderoff, it is possible to impeach the governor, but it would be difficult. Since there is not a legislative session until January, the first step for this impeachment is to have a special session called on by the governor herself, or three-fifths of the House and Senate would need to agree to call on an extraordinary session.
"It would take a majority of the state House members 36 out of 70 in order to impeach a governor. Then, there'd be a trial in the state Senate where it would take two-thirds of the members to convict the governor," Sanderoff said.
However, Sanderoff said the current political realities would make it hard to impeach the governor.
"The Democrats enjoy large majorities in both the state House and the state Senate. In order to get a majority of the House members to impeach and then two-thirds of the state senators to convict would be highly unlikely," Sanderoff said.
Lujan Grisham's press secretary, Caroline Sweeney, sent this statement in response to the impeachment.
"These legislators are more focused on impeachment than working to develop real solutions to save New Mexican lives."
While both Lord and Block said they acknowledged there is a gun violence problem, they said this is not the way to do it. They are in the process of preparing the impeachment documents.
That's nice, they understand there is a gun violence problem but aren't doing something about it. Meanwhile the Governor has reached the logical conclusion that not having a gun makes it harder to commit gun violence. Wonder of wonders.
And this is why you are the GOAT Retard champion.
Typically the Left is the ones that don't want to use effective solutions for violence, you know, policing, incarcerating the small minority of perpetrators that commit the vast majority of crimes, anti-gang activities and so on for the quick and proven methods of reducing violence.
How many people who are committing gun violence have gone through the process of getting a gun legally, applying and getting approved for a concealed carry permit? Like give me a guess of that percentage... because that is the only group of people that she decided to go after in her effort to curb gun violence.
I'm guessing that percentage is about the same as your IQ... less than 1.
"BUT SHE'S TRYING!" -Seran the Retard
So her "answer" to gun violence is to take the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens. Makes so much sense.. only if you are even MORE retarded than David Hogg.
