NM Gov. Grisham pushes gun control, public safety as Legislature reconvenes
Fox News
Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham proposed several gun control and violent crime laws Friday, with this year's state legislative session on the horizon.
"The constitutionality questions are beginning to be very complicated in the arena of gun violence," Lujan Grisham said. "We are going to continue this effort, following what is going on around the country. ... There will be others who will follow in our footsteps, creating their own public safety corridors, which in effect also make New Mexicans safer."
Germane proposals will include a ban on guns at public parks and playgrounds with felony penalties for violations — expanding a hallmark of the governor's ongoing declaration of a public health emergency related to gun violence and drug abuse.
