Albuquerque, NM –
On Sunday September 10th, 2023, Old Town Albuquerque became the epicenter of a heated gun control debate. Gun rights advocates gathered in old town plaza to protest Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s recent executive order temporarily banning firearms open carry and concealed carry in all of Bernalillo County. The rally, organized by local pro-Second Amendment groups, saw hundreds of participants converging on the historic district to voice their concerns and push back against the controversial measure.

See scenes from the 2A Rally HERE:
There has been national attention toward Governor Lujan Grisham about this ban and even some of her Democrat party members have said this measure has gone too far and does not solve the crime crisis.
There were impromptu speeches by members of the crowd and also from potential political candidates promising change. The gathering had people waving various patriotic flags, signs, and openly carrying firearms.
The rally was peaceful and the only known police presence was an Albuquerque Police Real Time Crime Center mobile video trailer that was quickly deployed and provided a feed of the rally to APD.
