Controversy Surrounds New Mexico's Gun Ban: Attorney General and Sheriff Refuse to Enforce

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has announced that he will not defend Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's 30-day gun ban in court, citing concerns about its constitutionality and lack of impact on public safety. The governor issued the ban in an effort to address gun violence, but critics argue that it infringes on law-abiding citizens' rights. Gun rights advocates and legislators have already filed lawsuits against the governor, questioning the legality of the order. Torrez urged Lujan Grisham to reconsider the ban, emphasizing the need for comprehensive measures to address gun violence.
