NM Governor’s Office Promises State Police Will Enforce Weapons Ban

“The order is being enforced, and citations will be forthcoming from the State Police,” said Caroline Sweeny, a spokesperson for Lujan Grisham’s office. ”To ensure officer safety, we will not be providing additional details at this time.”

On Friday, after announcing the order, Lujan Grisham told reporters “we’re likely dealing with misdemeanors,” but she was not specific.
It’s also unclear if any penalties people could face for violating the order would stand up against a challenge in court. Several attorneys showed up Sunday offering to represent anyone who receives a citation under the public health order, which is already facing several legal challenges.
Potential misdemeanors were not a concern for some in attendance, most were focused on what they view as a violation of the Second Amendment.
I don’t know, but I still think this isn’t as simple as everyone is making it out to be. First of all, I’m sure the controllers have an overarching plan – or think they do. Maybe they want images of violators. But that makes little sense to me. So they get images of guys and girls with guns. So what? There are another hundred thousand in NM (and another several million across the nation) just like them for every one image they capture.
Second, they are obviously running some sort of misdirect – after all, who really believes Ted Lieu really cares about constitutional violations (I’m not going to link or embed his idiotic tweet because I don’t believe him and he’s a liar)? I’m sure this is still a probing attack, but I’m also certain that they didn’t quite expect what’s happened or what’s coming. This will be heard in federal court, and there will also be state lawsuits over this. So the state police issue citations. So what? After refusal to pay, the district attorney has put in writing that he won’t enforce it and has gone on record saying that under Bruen this is unconstitutional. Does the governor really want to go to federal or state court with that testimony on record?

This is so absurdly stupid on its face, of course it’s misdirection.
Yes I believe it is a probe to see what the response is.
Yes I believe they have ID’d every single person who attended that rally with a firearm.
Yes I believe the orcs at the state level will start carrying out actions soon (again, to see the reaction).
She has stated she knows its unlawful and will not survive a court challenge. Stated that as fact in the interview. She doesn’t care. That tells you this isn’t what it appears to be about.
Paradigm people, paradigm. You are at war with an enemy. Something wacky happens. You don’t just shrug and assume there are altruistic motivations at work. That’s stupid.

They’ll probably wait weeks or months and then send out arrest warrants for “violation of public health order” or “disorderly conduct on city property”. There won’t be mention of carrying firearms or any anti gun charges. The LEO serving the warrant most likely won’t even know what action it’s for, just here’s a warrant go serve it. They’ll confiscate guns as part of the arrest, and even if the person wins, they’ll drag the process out as punishment and a warning to others not to disobey. Make an example of them. Maybe they’ll get their guns back.

Joe, as is typical LEO policy, the process is the punishment. Doesn’t matter if the cases are thrown out of court.

Just as folks in my circle pointed out the day this happened. Why this, and why now? She’s been relatively silent on most things for the past year, then drops this major act out of the blue.
It’s so obviously a distraction from a criminal act even more heinous we haven’t detected, yet.
She needs to be arrested, then impeached and led to the gallows as an example to the other criminal class.

Our government is trying very hard to create a violent confrontation. The actions by the governor are another attempt to show people just how violent and extremist gun owners are.
It didn’t work, this time. My best guess: the deep state is going to go false flag in a big way.

Sounds like the NMSP are traitorous swine… the latter-day equivalent of Hessian mercenaries.

The leftist gun grabbers have a plan. They ALWAYS have a plan. The question being what that plan may be and if they can get away with it. Almost all the people in prison for being in DC on Jan 6 did nothing wrong….but they are in still in prision. Because the “Justice” (sic) system is corrupt, broken beyond redemption.
