EXCERPT:

HARLOW: "But we also have, governor, the Constitution of New Mexico and the Constitution of the United States. And you’re an attorney. Do you think you’re on solid constitutional ground here?"
LUJAN GRISHAM: "We will see. I mean, look, I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t think I had the right. I have the right."
HARLOW: "Where is the right? Where is the right?"
LUJAN GRISHAM: "Public — it’s a suspension. It’s not a ban. And we’ll see what all of these court actions do. And I did say publicly, Poppy, look, I have a Supreme Court that says my personal bodily autonomy can be restricted, and yet NRA and other issues on the Second Amendment keeps getting broadened. So, the Bruin case in New York, right, deals with concealed carry, and cases in Texas that say you can be — "
HARLOW: "That's what I'm talking about. You bring up the Bruin case. The Supreme Court last year — let me just ask you this because the Supreme Court last year totally changed what we’re allowed to do, what you’re allowed to do. And they say that unless you can base it in the history and tradition, you don’t have grounds to do something like this. The New Mexico Constitution, I looked last night, Article 2, Section 6 says this: 'No law shall abridge the right of citizens to keep and bear arms for security and defense. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.' Are you not in violation of both the U.S. Constitution and your state’s Constitution?"
