New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has caught flak from gun control activists and at least one member of her own party for her Sept. 8 executive order that includes suspending concealed and open carry of firearms for 30 days in the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County.

In a Sept. 9 post on X, gun control activist David Hogg wrote that he supports the governor’s desire to promote gun safety, but not at the cost of a constitutional right.
