NRA-ILA | New Mexico: State and Local Lawmakers Take Action Against Governor’s Gun Ban Orders
Last week, NRA filed a state lawsuit against Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s illegal and unconstitutional gun carry ban in Albuquerque & Bernalillo County, and on all state property across New Mexico. We were joined by the entire Republican Caucuses of both the New Mexico House and Senate, as well as by the New Mexico Republican Party, the New Mexico Libertarian Party, and freedom-loving citizens of New Mexico who were impacted by the governor’s extremist edicts. NRA-ILA would like to thank these Republican state lawmakers from the Land of Enchantment who signed onto this litigation in support of your Second Amendment rights. If your state legislators are on this list, please take a moment to send them a note of thanks at their email addresses below. If you don’t know who your state lawmakers are, click here.

NRA-ILA would also like to thank the following Democrat state lawmakers who promptly delivered a letter to the governor after she announced her radical orders, urging her to rescind them immediately. Please take a moment to thank them for the actions they took, to stand with law-abiding gun owners and law enforcement against her radical progressive agenda:
Rep. Ambrose Castellano (D-San Miguel & Torrance-70) [email protected]
Rep. Harry Garcia (D-Bern, Cib., McK,S.J., Soc. & Val-69) [email protected]
Rep. Tara Jaramillo (D-Doña Ana, Sierra & Socorro-38) [email protected]
Rep. Patricia Lundstrom (D-McKinley- 9) [email protected]
Rep. Willie Madrid (D-Doña Ana & Otero-53) [email protected]
Rep. Joseph Sanchez (D-Colfax, Mora, R.A., S.M. & Taos-40) [email protected]
Lastly, we would like to recognize the efforts of certain Albuquerque City Councilmembers, who have drafted and introduced resolutions urging state legislative action on the issues of public safety and behavioral health improvement, affirming the city’s support of the constitutional right of its citizens to keep and bear arms, and declaring its opposition to the governor’s orders (Resolutions R-23-170 and R-23-171, click to view copies of resolutions). These local resolutions could be heard as early as the October 2nd, city council meeting. Please express your gratitude to them for their work to push back on the governor’s anti-gun administrative fiat:
District 5 Councilor Dan Lewis [email protected]
District 4 Councilor Brook Bassan [email protected]
District 9 Councilor Renee Grout [email protected]
District 1 Councilor Louie Sanchez [email protected]
While a temporary restraining order has been issued by a federal court against some of the governor’s original orders, and she has scaled back some of that order, NRA will continue to pursue our lawsuit in state court to hold her accountable for her unlawful and unconstitutional actions, and to prevent her and anti-gun politicians in other states from using such orders in the future to circumvent state legislatures and attempt to override state and U.S. constitutions to obliterate our Second Amendment rights.
Sincerely,
NRA Institute for Legislative Action

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Two local companies are joining together this summer to highlight iconic spots in New Mexico for “Sips of Enchantment.”
Meow Wolf and Dion’s Pizza is launching a color-changing cup featuring a roadrunner, Old Man Gloom, Green Chile Ranch, and more.
The cup costs $1.50 and will be available at Dion’s locations all over the state. There will also be weekly giveaways to win tickets to places and events like an Isotopes game, New Mexico United game, and the Sky Railway.
More information on how to enter can be found here.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – On Sunday, authorities spoke about how flash flooding affected the Albuquerque Metro.
Bernalillo County experienced power outages and severe flash flooding on Saturday evening. Along with standing water on major roads, rescues were also reported.
Around 10:30 a.m., Albuquerque Fire Rescue and the mayor held a press conference to discuss the weather events.
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Dangerous weather has been impacting The Metro, as well as other areas in The Rio Grande River Valley. Active weather in the form of flooding thunderstorms, with a few of them severe, have been roaring through with high winds. Additionally, temperatures have taken a dive in areas that have rained.
Earlier today, parts of the South Fork burn-scar received at least a few inches of rain with flash flooding in and around the Ruidoso area. Now, a few of the storms have produced some potentially damaging hail in addition to the heavy rain and gusty winds around Albuquerque as most of the storms are moving relatively quickly from south to north. While some communities closer to the border were sitting in the low triple digits with rain-free conditions, most areas in the Gila National Forest, the Sacramento Mountains, around the urban areas of The Rio Grande, and along the New Mexico-Colorado border are now sitting in the 60’s and low 70s! Thunderstorms got their fuel from the afternoon warmth, the ample moisture present in the atmosphere, and even some help from the arrival of a backdoor cold front. Eventually, as the storms lose their steam tonight while they move to the northern part of the region, the northeastern mountain canyons may experience even gustier east-northeasterly winds early as rain-cooled air will continue to spread.
The high pressure system to the east will keep funneling in Gulf of Mexico and Pacific Ocean moisture as rounds of storms will likely be in store until 4th of July.
