New Mexico Legislative Updates

Three new gun control bills have been filed, including one of the bills we have been anticipating. First, SB279, a ban on the sale or transfer of semiautomatic rifles was filed today… Second, SB244, a ban on minors possessing firearms with exemptions was filed… HB12, the expansion of New Mexico’s “red-flag” gun confiscation law will be heard in the House Judiciary Committee.

And naturally, Democrats didn’t want to talk about permitless carry…

Scamming Since They Crossed the Border

Two Mexican nationals residing in the Kansas City area have been charged in federal court for their involvement in a conspiracy to stage numerous armed robberies.

Word of Advice

The National Association for Gun Rights is proud to share what may be the most significant and exciting development in our 25-year history. One of our founders, David Warrington, a pillar of strength in the fight for the Second Amendment, has been appointed as White House Counsel and Assistant to President Donald J. Trump. [More]

I’m not sure why they’re putting this out on Feb. 4– we talked about it last Dec. 10.

I’m getting a little tired of “our side” adding positive spin where none is warranted. Because there’s still no action.

And I see the media has resurrected the “70% of Mexican crime guns come from the U.S.” claim.

New lies for old…

“around 10 dead“…

It looks like licensing, registration, and categorized police permissions didn’t work…

I wonder if VoxFudd Tom Heberlein still thinks they’ve got the answer…

No word yet on the identity of the shooter…
