STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - A New Mexico sheriff on Monday refused to enforce Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's ban on the right to carry firearms in the state's largest city and the surrounding county, saying it was unconstitutional and could spark political violence.
The move enraged gun-rights proponents across the United States. At a rally on Sunday in downtown Albuquerque, protesters openly carried rifles and pistols. "This order will not do anything to curb gun violence other than punish law-abiding citizens who have a constitutional right to self defense," Allen said at a press briefing.
Lujan Grisham last week declared gun violence a public health emergency after an 11-year-old boy was shot dead in Albuquerque, apparently in an act of road rage. Albuquerque has suffered record numbers of homicides two years running.
