I know New Mexico ain't Texas, but she definitely needs to be knocked down politically.

Do governors have the authority to suspend parts of the federal constitution? Legally, the answer is absolutely not. Four new lawsuits filed in federal court from New Mexico will likely result in a reversal of Michelle Lujan Grisham’s absurd declaration that the Second Amendment does not apply in her state during a temporary “emergency” she declared unilaterally.
What about the political answer to such a declaration, apparently without any consultation of the state legislature, let alone the US Constitution? Governors operate under authority granted by both the federal and state constitutions, not the other way around. A personal order to suspend either or both are acts of tyranny, especially through the time-worn, banana-republic construct of a declared “emergency.”
Governors take oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution — but so do state legislators. Will they take the action appropriate to their oaths when it comes to Lujan Grisham? At least two legislators have called to do so...

The whole Mexican Gov’t is corrupt......[/sarc]
She looks like a White Hispanic.
“ IF YOU ALLOW THE GOVT TO BREAK
THE LAW BECAUSE OF AN EMERGENCY,
THEY WILL ALWAYS CREATE AN EMERGENCY
TO BREAK THE LAW.”
They will turn out to be a bunch of cowards just like all the rest.
Traitor Roberts is so useless.
Law, Schmaw.
It will be up to private citizens to do something. They had better be armed if they do.
Politicians do not respect anything else.
Luhan is a Spanish name.
She coulda married into it, but I rest my case....
Ooops, my bad. She was born with it, sounds like.
She’s so stupid she thinks her order will save lives when it actually puts lives in more danger.
She looks like a G’D imbecile... Because she is one.
“The legislature won’t do anything.”
Damn right they won’t. The Democrats have nearly veto-proof majorities in both houses of the NM legislature; 45 out of 70 in the House and 26 out of 42 in the Senate, so as a heavily outnumbered minority there’s nothing Republicans can do (which is normally how they prefer it anyway).
Only Republicans routinely backstab their own party members, as long as that party member is a conservative, such as Ken Paxton in Texas.
OTOH Democrats march in nearly perfect goosestep at all times and will only sacrifice one of their own (e.g. Al Franken back in 2017) as long as they are certain the replacement will be similarly ultra-liberal (and therefore cost them nothing) and they can make political hay in the media by giving the “appearance of propriety”.
they vote Democrat mostly, so they get what they get

She is not stupid. She is lying about her reasons.
This is a test run for total cancellation of the second amendment by executive orders. Soon to be replicated in other states if it sticks.
The Democrats must disarm the general population as quickly as possible. They are already doing things that reasonable citizens might conclude they should be shooting politicians for doing.
Democrats do not care about violent criminals as long as they pick approved targets for their predation. More crime means more people clamoring for increased government powers.
Impeach her and deport her to Mexico ... she is delusional and thinks she is President of Mexico.
