A federal judge appointed by President Joe Biden blocked on Wednesday a 30-day ban on concealed carry instituted by New Mexico's governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), after a rise in gun violence in the state.

U.S. District Judge David Herrera Urias issued a temporary restraining order against the ban, which even included licensed concealed carry holders.

Breitbart News senior legal contributor Ken Klukowski, who specifically litigates Second Amendment cases, said the temporary restraining order is usually only used for the "most egregious forms of government abuses."

“The fact that a judge appointed by Joe Biden is compelled to admit that this gun grab rises to that level of radical constitutional violation speaks volumes," he added.

Grisham's action has raised an outcry from gun rights advocates all over the country, who are dismayed that with a stroke of her pen, a governor has tried to take away the gun rights of millions.

Her blatant violation of the Second Amendment will be copied by every Democrat-controlled state if she gets away with it.
