On Friday, two days after a tragic road rage shooting in Albuquerque, anti-gun New Mexico

governor Michelle Grisham exploited the incident to issue an emergency declaration curtailing

the exercise of the Second Amendment by suspending conceal carry in Albuquerque for 30 days.

Which is, of course, a very bad thing, and here's her reasoning.

You took an oath to the Constitution.

Isn't it unconstitutional to say we cannot exercise your carry license?

With one exception.

And that is, if there's an emergency, and I've declared an emergency for a temporary

amount of time, I can invoke additional powers.

No constitutional right, in my view, including my oath, is intended to be absolute.

There are restrictions on free speech.

In this emergency, this 11-year-old, and all these parents who have lost all these children,

they deserve my attention to have the debate about whether or not in an emergency,

we can create a safer environment.

Because what about their constitutional rights?

I took an oath to uphold those two.

And if we ignore this growing problem, without being bold, I've said to every other

in the Mexican, your rights are subrogated to theirs.

And they are not, in my view.

But again, if I'm unsafe, who's standing up for that right?

If this climate is so out of control, somebody should do something.

I'm doing as much as I know to do.
