As the New Mexico Supreme Court mulls its decision on gun control executive orders issued by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, she is pushing a legislative agenda to clamp down on Second Amendment rights, according to an NRA lobbyist.

During a webinar on the eve of a 30-day budget session that began on Jan. 16, Tara Mica, a regional lobbyist for the NRA in Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Mississippi, warned Second Amendment advocates that Ms. Lujan Grisham is almost guaranteed to support all the gun control bills prefiled for this session.
