Rights Being Trampled In New Mexico
Dear Editor,
Can anybody believe that a governor (even a Democrat) of a state would be so stupid as to blatantly violate the Constitution of the United States on their own?
The governor of New Mexico issued an “emergency declaration” suspending the rights of the citizens of the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County to carry a firearm outside of their residence, open or concealed for 30 days, declaring it a public health emergency. I believe any lawyer worth their salt would declare it a blatant violation of the Second Amendment. To think that she did this on her own would require people to believe anything. Fortunately, for the most part law enforcement has politely told the governor, “Not no. But hell no!”
Conspiracy alert!
The other part of this is it’s almost impossible to believe that all this is taking place without some influence from the (National Socialist) Democrat Party on some level. My personal belief is NM Governor Grisham and Health Secretary Patrick Allen were somehow bamboozled by higher-ups in the party to try this incredibly stupid move as a test to see if it could happen. The question I have is, why no pushback from anybody in the legislature when this whole thing was being prepared? Seems to me somebody somewhere should have stood up and said, “hold the phone there, Ms. Stalin.”
Our doddering president and his handlers in the party got called to the carpet by the Fifth Circuit Court when they tried to cut off the right to exercise the First Amendment. I guess they figured it might be safer to use a lower member of the party to try to go after the Second.
The thing I’m afraid of is they will try to stretch this thing out and hope some other bright, shiny object will distract the masses. This and the attempt to violate First Amendment rights should be a wake-up call. Our rights come from God, not the government.
Carpe diem,

Don’t Believe Baghdad Barbie
Dear Editor,
Last Thursday, on hearing the news regarding cancelled leases and the North Slope embargo, President of the US Oil and Gas Association Tim Stewart assailed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as “a sort of Baghdad Barbie” for claiming this administration is trying to lower gas prices.
His organization is made up of the people who actually take the risk of exploration, extracting the oil, refining it into gasoline and getting it to the gas stations so we can just saunter down to Sheetz and fill our tanks, easy-peasy.
He was shocked that the Biden administration is acting in such a blatantly extra-legal way.
“This arbitrary cancellation breaks a series of legal contracts between the federal government and the industry,” Stewart said.
“The administration is going to get sued, and they’re likely going to lose on this. But the bigger losers in all this, frankly, are the American people.” Stewart went on to explain that this administration’s regulations, restrictions, “slow walking” of approvals, and executive orders will cause huge price spikes in coming years, as our ability to meet our future energy needs is being crippled.
But what caused him to speak out was the jaw-dropping mendacity of this White House and it’s spokesperson. It was the barefaced lies of KJP that were so galling. That’s what made him draw the parallel between infamous Baghdad Bob who denied the presence of US troops as our tanks were rolling past him, and the equally shameless lies of the White House Spokesperson.
So, do you believe “Baghdad Barbie,” Joe Biden and the Democrats – or the industry leader who knows what he’s talking about?
The Democrats are lying to us.

Point of clarification that the drama queen left out of his rant…you can still transport firearms per the governor’s order but they need to be made safe with trigger lock etc… Still can’t imagine it will stand up in court as the supreme court has been very clear on the right to carry. Also don’t think it would make any difference in the violence. Seems more like making noise to elevate the issue in her State.
Doesn’t look like law enforcement is excited about enforcing the ordinance so likely a non-event except for trigging the drama queens. But good for her for pushing for more dialog on the issue of escalating gun violence in her cities. Not that the NRA cares, but good for her anyway.
Chrissy is in favor of unconstitutional overreach by Little Hitlers – so long as there’s a (D) after their name.
” …likely a non-event except for trigging (sic) the drama queens.”
Maybe you’re right Chris. Maybe we all need to be willing thralls and good little subjects and not worry about it. Let’s let someone else, regardless of who they are, to protect our God given rights. They’re no way they could ever be replaced by minions of the other side.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin…”A Republic, IF YOU CAN KEEP IT.” Key part there is” …”if YOU can keep it.”
Oh BTW, want to know where he stands, check out the last four words of his reply, “…good for her anyway.”
I trust our court systems to handle this test like it has handled all the other test to restrict gun access. I am very pro 2nd Amendment but don’t fear this action in the slightest. (I am not a drama Queen) It won’t be enforced, and she will lose in court. Checks and balances is what makes our country great. But I do hope her actions drive conversations about other actions that can be taken. But let me guess…..those that actually know guns won’t participate in real conversations other than to say we need more guns and less restrictions. You know….since that is working sooooo well. What a joke.
Go hug your guns if it makes you feel better.
Well said Alan!! What Mrs. Stalin fails to realize is that her party is using her and throwing her career under the bus. I can just about bet she won’t get re-elected. The demon-rats probably figured most people wouldn’t pay close attention to news coming from New Mexico but when it comes to our 2nd Amendment rights, we pay attention to news everywhere! The left is going to do anything they possibly can to take our weapons before they finally lose control of the WH. Why the moronic leftists keep supporting brain dead Joe and the d-rats trying to destroy our rights is beyond me. They fail to realize they will lose everything too. Their own party could care less about them!
Our illustrious pres has humiliated himself and our country time and time again during pressers. Forgetting where he is, what he’s saying and even his wifes name! Farting on the Queen, asking someone to stand up who passed away weeks before and let’s not forget taking bribe money from Chinese and Russian companies as well as withholding money from countries unless they do what he wants. Not to mention the multitude of crimes he and his drug addled son have committed all in the name of business and politics! He has slowly given China control of the USA by allowing sales of land and companies to them. They will soon control everything here and Joe is all for it. But…. this is who the brainless twits who voted for Joe and his braying Camel believe is best for our country.
We all know how Camel got where she is. Just ask her previous boss. Our fear should be that she’s sleeping with every world leader she comes in contact with and giving away our secrets. She can’t be trusted. Heck, she didn’t even win her party’s nomination for president when she tried running. She bombed at that like everything else she does. Except sleeping her way to the top. That she’s a pro at!
We need to stand up for our rights! Regardless of what anyone else thinks, we are still free Americans and we need to protect that freedom. If people want socialism and to have nazi leaders, let them leave the US and move to another country because I flat out guarantee you that if this country became a socialist one, they’ll be the first one’s to complain about losing their rights and freedom and will expect us to fight on their behalf to get them back. They are too ignorant to realize it’s their fault completely if it ever happens.
Well, y’all (drama queens), I deliberately ranted just to make C angry. Y’all keep getting all this ridiculous heat from him even though everything y’all say makes perfect sense and it’s tiring to see him do it because you would think by now he would re-awake from his “woke” state and see the truth of his party’s behavior. But alas, it’s not to be.
Alan and Austin, it’s always a pleasure reading your letters and responses and to see we have sensible, level headed minds in our area. Keep fighting the fight and standing up for your beliefs! We can’t ever give up the fight for freedom or our guns. Molon Labe
Shocker, Tim Stewart of the Big Oil lobby doesn’t like anything other ‘drill baby drill’. Paint me shocked! I would suggest you get your oil production insights from a less biased person that Tim Stewart. But you be you.
Do note that US oil production is at an all-time high this year under this administration. Hmmm, why isn’t gas cheap? Oh, because oil prices are set globally and heavily manipulated by OPEC. Not that a republican would admit that…they just avoid the truth so they can say all things Democrat are bad.
What Repubtards also hide from you in their misinformation campaign (read propaganda) is that the extreme heat is partially to blame for higher gas prices this year. Over half of the US refining capacity is in Texas and Louisiana with many of those refineries experiencing heat related shutdowns with sustained temperatures over 100 degrees.
I’ll believe just about anyone over the senile old demagogue and plagiarist in the White House, and his laughable Haitian lesbian spokesperson.
“The Democrats are lying to us.” Every time their lips move. “Democrat” has become a synonym for liar.
(A lot of Republicans like McConnell et al. lie a lot too, but some few Republicans value truth.)
Healey,
Doddering Uncle Joe started dividing the Republican Party into MAGA and non-MAGA, so maybe people should start using my reference and divide the Democrat Party using my (National Socialist) Democrat Party and just Democrat Party.
And I agree with your comment about the GOP.
New Mexico criminals are excited to learn no one will be carrying a gun for the next entire month.
Hey Alan…the doddering president was probably taking a nap…you know, like when he was in Vietnam. Total brain rot.
As soon as I read in different places that gun violence was deemed a ” health care crisis” I suspected the designation would be used to insert extra control measures. Maybe when the WHO declares gun violence a health pandemic and requires all member states to follow their pandemic protocols people will realize what we have given up- too late.
Well said Sue!
Just wait…. the CDC will somehow jump on that bandwagon and try to declare a national health emergency by banning guns in one form or another! That’s probably where this is headed since they’re claiming a “health crisis”. And considering Dementia Joe has control of the CDC with his puppets, we know how that’s gonna go down. The left will stand in line and surrender their weapons willingly all because the CDC said so! Because we all know the CDC doesn’t cover anything up (massive sarcasm) and would never violate our rights. (insert even more extreme sarcasm). Get in line demon-rats…. you’re about to lose everything you’re not fighting for.
“Our rights come from God, not the government” ??? Hoo boy, Alan – it’s worse than I thought: you’ve gone full Q on us !! I don’t remember reading in class about God writing the U.S. Bill of Rights, did YOU? You are very entertaining !!
You have read the Declaration of Independence and other documents written and referred to by the founders of the USA, right? I’m guessing not though.
From the Declaration: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…”
Yes, we all know that humans wrote the words, but what the forefathers were saying is that our rights are intrinsic, not granted to us by the government. Our rights exist whether or not the government exists because they were bestowed upon us by our creator, not by George Washington and certainly not by Joe Biden.
His tinfoil hat really isn’t working that well lately. The drama is full tilt lately. lmao
But our unalienable rights – life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – do come from God, don’t they? Government didn’t give us life, did it? Without government we are born free, and naturally seek happiness.

The enumeration of these rights is not the same as the gift of these rights. That’s like claiming that your shopping list is the same as a trolley full of the same items.
Ahhh, facts. I see there has been no rebuttal from the Chris’s. Facts do make the libs and uneducated run, don’t they. Good points, irrefutable points, Don and Austin.
Thanks for noticing their M.O.
When Chris has been proven wrong and humiliated, he just disappears – puff! Same thing with Chris Bradsher and Ken.
Don and I have had or disagreements but he makes valid points when he argues, and allows the debate to reach its conclusion. He doesn’t just run away like a crestfallen little girl. I respect him, which is more than can be said for Chris.
Without the second amendment, ALL the others fall like dominoes.
Liberals don’t have to follow the Constitution, according to Biden.
I watched a video of the FBI (Follows Biden Instructions) arresting a Jan 6th individual. Twelve big vehicles pull into the man’s driveway. Haven’t these guys heard about climate change?
Interestingly, the FBI tracked down all Jan 6th folks involved in the dust-up but can’t find out who had the cocaine in the White House.
FBI = KGB
Lol, whoever left cocaine in the Whitehouse didn’t film themselves like the Jan 6th insurrectionists did.
There are cameras all over the Whitehouse knucklehead.
hahaha….she is running a fine line for sure. but as i noted, you can carry your weapon, it just needs to be made safe so it will take a court case to clarify. She will likely lose. I trust the check and balances of government for the most part. I just don’t panic like a drama queen every tiime someone tries to do something to solve a problem others ignore. But she will lose.
Go hug you little guns if it makes you feel better.
But Chrissy, surely all the unhinged “Climate Crisis” nutters are Drama Queens, aren’t they? I see no crisis in the weather, and neither does anyone else.
Or how about the paranoid little sheep who panicked and scared themselves silly over a little man-made Chinese flu…? OMG, what Drama Queens that lot were – including you, if I remember right.
====
“Drama Queen Chris”…. I like it.
If they come to the table with data, facts and detailed studies to make their point on climate change, then no, they are not drama queens. But those that rant that science is wrong and out to get them…THEY are drama queens. Check the mirror, you will see my point.
Check YOUR mirror. The genuine data support the fact that there is indeed minor warming globally, but it’s insignificant.
If you dare to think for yourself, just look at photos of the Statue of Liberty from 100+ years ago, and now. Can you see…? Sea level is identical.
Now try to reach a conclusion of your own, Einstein.
I think that is the dumbest thing you have commented to date. Almost as stupid as those flat earthers claiming to not see the curvature of the earth. Let’s leave science to the scientists.
But you’re not willing to try to refute it, I see.

“Facts are stubborn things”.
And who are those who “rant that science is wrong and out to get them”?
No conservative that I know feels like that.
You have a fertile imagination.

And if you really want to talk science, you must accept that a woman has two X chromosomes and a man has an X and a Y chromosome. Right?
Are you referring to sex or gender?
There is no difference.
And please, spare me he spurious semantics of the MGBGT crowd. They dance on a pin to try to justify their specious claims.
New Mexico Karen thought she could take your guns. The sheriff said hell no, and then a federal judge said are you crazy? You can’t do that.
She’s a touch-feely HR person who hates men. Maybe she should apply for a job on The View.
I believe you, Salt Life.
We hear about misogyny all the time (hatred of women), but never hear about misandry (the hatred of men). There is a certain type of militant spiteful woman who exemplifies the misandrist. Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton, Randi Weingarten, and most of the women on The View come to mind.
They tend to be leftists and/or lesbians.
