Letter to the editor: Raging against the government

Well, I think it is time for another letter to the editor.

I know a little more than the average citizen about the law because of my many years in law enforcement and hope that other people who know more about the law than I, can correct me if I am wrong.

I do not claim to be a lawyer and these letters are opinions that everyone has, some being bigger than others, if you know what I mean!

Governor Grisham just signed a law that ends qualified immunity, New Mexico ends qualified immunity (msn.com).

So, does this mean she, too can be sued and brought to court for violating a person’s civil rights?  I mean it would only be fair with all of her past orders during Covid-19 that affected small business like the Grants pawn and gun shop facing a $60,000 fine for staying open | KRQE News 13.  I am sure there are many more.

President Biden was supposed to sign an executive order this week that would affect gun ownership. I noticed instead he made a speech about what he would like done via his DOJ, AFT, or his administration.

Sorry, ATF. Guess he gets confused easily, with some older folks it happens, but more often with him. Biden, 78, makes ANOTHER gaffe in gun control speech as he twice calls federal agency the ‘AFT’ instead of the ATF (thesun.co.uk).

As for his claim on so called ghost guns, I did have one case in 32+ years, where a registered felon sex offender got his hands on one of those 80 percent guns you can build at home with no serial number.  But as usual, the ATF was not interested in prosecuting him or the idiot that sold it to him.

Yes, the rule is if you make one of these 80 percent pistols or rifles with no background check or serial number, you must make it for yourself. You cannot sell it, or give it to anyone else.

So just like the new marijuana law coming up soon in a town near you, there will be rules about how much you can grow or have.  It will be against the law to drive while under the influence, or even possess or buy a gun.

But people will break the law and rules. Your car insurance will go up, your health care costs. Democrats will want more laws, and the left-wing media will run headlines to support the Democrats newest crisis!

Well, somebody’s got to pay when a drugged-up driver runs into you or shoots you, right?
