Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said she will enact a monthlong ban on carrying firearms — concealed or openly — in any public space in Bernalillo County and any state property in New Mexico.

The order set aside $750,000 in emergency funds to protect public safety.

The governor declared gun violence a public emergency less than 24 hours after an 11-year-old was killed in a road rage shooting in Albuquerque.

X, formerly Twitter, users had mixed reactions to the gun ban — some supporting the governor's goal of reducing gun violence in New Mexico — others calling for impeachment, accusing her of violating the Second Amendment.
