This move has drawn criticism from both conservatives and surprising sources\u2062 on the \u200bleft.<\/p>\n<p>Grisham signed the order on Thursday,\u2062 declaring gun violence a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/martinez-we-have-2-4-hour-lines-due-to-new-mexico-lockdown\/\" title=\"Martinez: 'We Have 2-4 Hour Lines' Due to New Mexico Lockdown\">public health emergency<\/a> in the\u2063 Democrat-controlled state. However, her decision to unilaterally suspend open and concealed carry laws has been met with immediate backlash. Many argue that this action\u2064 may be \u200bunconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>Even Grisham herself acknowledged \u2063the \u2064potential legal challenges to her order, suggesting that she may not win if the order\u2063 is challenged in court. This admission raises\u2063 further questions about the constitutionality of \u200dher decision.<\/p>\n<h3>Unlikely\u200d Critics<\/h3>\n<p>One \u200dof the unexpected \u200dcritics of Grisham&#8217;s order \u2064is far-left anti-gun activist David Hogg. Taking to X, Hogg stated, &#8220;I support gun\u2063 safety but there is no such thing \u2064as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-governor-facing-calls-of-impeachment-from-musk-after-attack-on-2a\/\" title=\"Democrat Governor faces impeachment calls from Musk over 2A attack.\">state public health emergency exception<\/a> to the U.S. Constitution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I support gun safety but there is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution. \u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6GfbOZLc7g\">https:\/\/t.co\/6GfbOZLc7g<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David Hogg \ud83d\udfe7 (@davidhogg111) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davidhogg111\/status\/1700601787605266779?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 9, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Another\u200d unexpected critic \u200bis Rep.
