Your opinion still doesn't change the fact that it is up to the COURTS, not the cops, to decide whether a law is unconstitutional. The rule of law is important.
That is insurrectionist BS

"the fact that it is up to the COURTS, not the cops, to decide whether a law is unconstitutional"
Lets go with that. If a governor throws out a law that may infringe on the 2nd admendment and it is challeged by law enforcement and citizens, that law pretty much is void until the courts uphold and validate that law. Do you agree?

Ptediction: at considerable expense to
the taxpayers the courts will find it unconstitutional.
Prediction 2. The finest scientific instruments will
detect no effect on crime
Prediction 3. If it were any other of the I
Constitutionally guaranteed rights involved,
your opinion would change.
( bonus of double
speed if a "R" politician did it.)
Prediction 4 Your opinion won't mean any more then
than now.
Did you hear-btw- that the constitution was written by
Insurrectionists?

It's still up to the courts, lady.

True. I believe no less an American than
G. Washington said that after he heard of the dust- up
at concord bridge.
The duty of civil disobedience- btw- takes
courage of conviction. Not " Oh the the authorities
choose for us".
I breathed tear gas in the streets of Hong
Kong not long ago.
We lost of course.
Do you even know what that was about?
In a sentence, it was the govt promising one thing,
doing another to restrict our rights.
We lost but we didn't go like sheep.
Not that you do either.
You cheer the usurpers.

I cheer the rule of law. Cops don't decide if laws are constitutional, courts do.

There was no judge, and it's not saying you can't have them.

That was the actual law then, and in many towns. You could have you guns, just nit carry them in public. You left them at home.

A law made by a sheriff(marshall), not a governor or court.
And how did the people react?

I wonder if the "Just Following Orders" defense, AKA "Nuremberg defense", has ever worked in a court of law..?

They were well received, travel advisors said leave guns at home, and anyone carrying in public wad assumed to be out for trouble and was soon due for a visit from the sheriff.
Facts are, gun control was way tight, especially compared to today, during the so-called "Wild West" days, and where there were issues with gun violence (such as seen in Tombstone) the solution was not more guns.

I would bet the people here that say 'the law is the law' break laws while driving, or doing other things, etc, on a daily basis.
IOW the law is the law if they agree

Suspending freedom of the press
should be OK if the governor decides
her not getting reelected is a emergency.
Not void, just not enforced. As far as I know the injunction is legal till it's overturned.
Seems that the Bernalillo County Sheriff will not enforce the Governors firearms ban in Benalillo county New Mexico.
I for one also agree that this is an unconstitutional act by the governor along with those on both sides of the political spectrum
New Mexico sheriff says he won't enforce 'unconstitutional' gun ban: 'Protecting the Second Amendment'
Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen said in a press conference Monday that he will not be enforcing Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's recent firearm ban.www.foxnews.com
And to satisfy our leftwing members
Liberals turn on New Mexico governor over gun suspension: ‘Violates the US Constitution’
Gun control activist David Hogg and Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu both denounced New Mexico Gov. Lujan Grisham's temporary gun ban as unconstitutional.www.foxnews.com
The Sheriff's job is not to interpret the law. Only enforce it.
He is absolutely in the wrong. How is this person right in any way?
What if this was a law you didn’t like, like rounding up people for their ethnicity or sexual orientation? Or how about just banning drag shows?
If a Sheriff refused to enforce a law like that they would be a hero in my opinion.
As a Bernalillo County resident myself, I do support stricter regulation on guns, but I fail to see how a 30 day gun restriction is going to change anything. Those carrying guns will still carry guns. Those out to rob or kill will still rob or kill. Outlaws, by definition, ignore the law. What does the governor expect will be be changed in 30 days?
What it does seem to have accomplished is a huge pretext for a GOP claim of government tyranny, and the anti-gun, anti-constitution, Fascist agenda of the Democratic party.
This will not end well.
