Well, we can take bets on whether or not this survives the first judge who sees it, or argue on whether or not believing someone being right should allow them to unilaterally ignore the constitution.
You know there are states where open carry is not allowed, right? It also doesn’t need to survive a judge, it needs to be in effect for long enough to curb violence. Whether that happens is a different question than its constitutionality. But I doubt that this is intended to pass our insane judicial system too to bottom.
Yup.
This has zero chance of making it to the supreme court. There are enough right wing lunatics and "sane" judges who are terrified of said right wing lunatics that it will be struck down because apparently "the right to bear arms" means "the right to shove forty guns in your trousers on the way to mcdonald's"
But albuquerque is suffering right now and it will take at least 30 days to get struck down. Which, if the cops could avoid being worthless sacks of shit for even once in their life, would accomplish the goal of calming everything down.
This is not just open carry, it's carry of all firearms outside of ranges.
It's both open and concealed carry banned. I personally agree with her, but that matters not, as government officials shouldn't get to ignore parts of the constitution they dislike "just for a bit" and then go "oopsie ;)" once the courts confirm they're ignoring the constitution.
This is why principled Americans want to see Trump in jail. Doesn't matter if you feel good about your actions, the constitution matters more
Far too many people feel that Supreme Court opinions, no matter how ridiculous, are unquestionable determinations of constitutionality. The sacred right to carry guns for self-defense didn't exist until 15 years ago.
