Gov. Grisham stated that the work to reduce violence is not finished, saying, “This is no time to slow down — we must accelerate our efforts to protect our families. The legislature must also prioritize budget requests from our law enforcement agencies, who need more resources to continue their fight against crime.”
Gun rights advocates filed several lawsuits over the order, claiming it blocked citizens of their Second Amendment right to carry in public for self-defense.
