Albuquerque gun rights suspended - Alito recusal debate - US-Vietnam deal

Source: City of Albuquerque

1. Summary
   New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday suspended the right to carry firearms in public (openly or concealed) in localities that average more than 1,000 violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year or 90 gun-related emergency room visits per 100,000 from July 2022 to June 2023. Only Bernalillo County and its seat, Albuquerque, meet the standard. The suspension lasts for 30 days but can be renewed.
   
   Grisham made the move after declaring gun violence a public health emergency. She cited recent fatal shootings of three children, as well as two mass shootings that occurred earlier in the year. Grisham said that gun violence is the leading cause of death for children aged 1-19 in the state.
   
   A gun-rights group that is suing over the policy calls it unconstitutional, citing a 2022 Supreme Court ruling that overturned New York's limits on public gun possession. George Mason law professor Robert Leider says the order appears unprecedented. Grisham welcomed legal challenges and said "No constitutional right, in my view [....] is intended to be absolute."
