‘Second Amendment Sanctuaries’: 21 of New Mexico’s 33 Counties Refuse to Enforce Gun Control

New Mexico Democrats, led by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), are pushing universal background checks, gun confiscation via red flag laws, and a broadened prohibited persons list for firearm purchases and possession.

On February 10, 2019, Breitbart News reported that 29 of New Mexico’s 33 sheriffs signed a statement against the gun control. The New Mexico Sheriff’s Association also made clear it plans to sue the state if the new gun controls are enacted.

Gov. Grisham responded to the 29 sheriffs by describing them as “a few” members of law enforcement “making noise”:

A few law enforcement officers in this state have been making noise about how they won’t enforce gun safety measures because they don’t like them. That’s not how laws work, of course, and it’s not how oaths of office work either. But let’s move past that. #SB8
