When New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan-Grisham, a Democrat, suddenly announced she was overriding the Second Amendment and banning gun rights in Bernallilo County, the local sheriff didn’t respond well.

Sheriff John Allen, in fact, said the governor’s ordered was unconstitutional.

Now there has been some reaction from others, who didn’t treat the governor as politely as the sheriff it.

According to a report in the Blaze, her suspension of open and concealed carry laws prompted “dozens of gun rights activists gathered in Old Town Albuquerque to voice their displeasure with Gov. Grisham’s 30-day suspension of open and concealed carry laws that went into effect in the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County.”

The report noted, “Many of the protesters openly displayed their firearms in a deliberate defiance of Grisham’s decree.”

According to the report, protesters displayed American flags, Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flags and “Come and Take It” flags.

“A man was holding a sign addressed to Grisham that read: ‘Our founding fathers warned us about you.’ A woman was holding a sign that stated: ‘Gun rights are women’s rights.'”

The protesters’ bottom line, based on what one protester said, was, “We will not comply!”

The report explained Ford Fischer, of News2Share, posted video from the protest on YouTube.

“One speaker at the armed rally in Albuquerque defying the gun carrying ban told the crowd that they need to go out and do this every day, or else it wouldn’t have an impact,” Fischer explained. “While the police didn’t enforce the order, it includes a $5000 fine for violators.”

The report explained the governor claims there’s a public health emergency, and that’s why gun rights are being suspended.

A lawsuit already has been filed, by the National Association for Gun Rights, over the governor’s attempt to restrict gun owners.

It states, “The state must justify the Carry Prohibition by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. But it is impossible for the State to meet this burden, because there is no such historical tradition of firearms regulation in this Nation.”

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.

According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.

“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”

Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”

But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
