Even on the left and among gun control advocates MLG’s gun grab is wrong

As we noted recently, Gov. Lujan Grisham took the outrageous step of banning the carrying of guns in Bernalillo County for 30 days.  Here are just a few of the many gun control proponents who have stated publicly that MLG’s order goes too far (the post includes a response from MLG):

Hey Ted, conceal and open carry are state laws that I have jurisdiction over. If you’re really interested in helping curb gun violence, I’d welcome you to join our next police academy class. https://t.co/Odf9fNbO2W https://t.co/17ca1dYpLc

I support gun safety but there is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution. https://t.co/6GfbOZLc7g

And, while Elon Musk is certainly not a “progressive.” He is rather heterodox in his views. Here’s what Musk had to say:

At risk of stating what should be obvious, deliberately violating the Constitution is next-level illegal.

How soon can this person be removed from office?
