Republican Nella Domenici hauls in $1.25M since launching Senate bid in New Mexico in January [More]
I note her campaign website highlights no issues and donations go through WinRed.
So, Nella, why should a no-compromise gun owner get a fire in the belly over your candidacy? What laws will you work to support? What laws will you work to repeal? Where do you see “common ground” with prohibitionists?
What makes donating to you a more prudent ultimate investment than buying more ammo? What makes walking precincts and manning phone banks a more prudent investment of time than honing skills at the range?
Because — and pay attention to this — being just another establishment Vichycon won’t cut it. New Mexico has been dominated by tyrants. There are no “friends across the aisle.”
Who are you to lead the charge against them?

The clock on the 2024 New Mexico Legislative Session is quickly counting down to sine die. Here is the latest on where anti-gun bills stand. [More]
Just because the session is winding down doesn’t mean the prohibitionists are going to take a break.
The bulk of Saturday night’s debate was over three failed amendments introduced by Republicans which sought to circumvent the waiting period for active duty military, people who have obtained a family violence protection order and those who pass a background check before the waiting period is over.

In the the Senate Judiciary Committee today, there was a committee substitute bill for HB129, the 7-day firearm purchase waiting period proposal… SB204 was postponed in the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee and will be heard later this week or weekend. HB144 was also postponed in the House Judiciary Committee to be heard later this week or weekend… There are a lot of gun control bills waiting for votes on the House Floor, HB27 the red-flag law expansion, HB114 the firearm industry liability bill, HB127 the under 21 semiautomatic gun ban, and HB137 the semiautomatic firearm sales ban and registry.

Members of the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committed voted 5-4 to table Senate Bill 122, which advocates say would give prosecutors and judges a stronger tool to keep suspects charged with violent crimes behind bars while they await trial. [More]

If citizen disarmament is, as admitted, “passed on party-line votes,” I need someone to explain to me what good it does to contact Democrats, particularly those in “safe” seats…
Regardless, help is going to be needed to fight these in court. New Mexico gun owners: Don’t do nothing.

All New Mexicans deserve to be safe in their communities, which is why we’re requiring a 14-day waiting period for the purchase of firearms, banning assault weapons, and raising the purchase age to 21 for all firearms… We’ll also prohibit guns in public parks and on playgrounds, allow law enforcement to directly file Extreme Risk Protection Orders, and increase penalties for for felons in possession of a firearm… [More]

Governor: It’s time to ban assault weapons in New Mexico
In defining what constitutes a public health emergency, the governor asserts that both gun violence and drug abuse “comfortably fall within” the category because of extremely dangerous conditions posed by weapons and toxic chemical agents posing an imminent threat to many New Mexico residents. The temporary orders don’t violate constitutional rights, she said. [More]
That’s because she’s an unqualified liar with a subversive agenda.

You have to get five minutes into this to get to the relevant part. Their title made me think there might have been a development I had missed in my report, but it turns out the screen shot they’re using to make their case is from two + months ago.
Where the guns are now is a question I asked:
Have investigators taken the guns into custody yet? Are they still in the same condition as in the photo or have then been “legally” destroyed since it was taken? If so, by whom and when? If done after an investigation was announced and before being surrendered, would that constitute willful destruction of evidence?

I wonder if it’s a coincidence that the city backed down from participating in a highly publicized event just a few hours after I warned them the chief’s public admissions created a potential legal nightmare for them — and if similar warnings can be used to derail other “buybacks” where they’re incentivizing people with no safety training to handle and transport guns…

But “Come on down, and you’re on your own” is what the Farmington Police Department, New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence, and the “real reporters” at The Journal consider “gun safety,” and that’s what they’re urging everyone to take part in? And if someone gets hurt or worse due to this deliberately indifferent incentivized ignorance, have they run the chief’s admission by their respective legal departments to consider against the familiar civil complaint words “knew or should have known”? [More]
I wonder if the city attorney is willing to expose Farmington to the unsafe gun handling liability the chief just confessed to the media, along with all the other questionable legal practices ? Why not ask?
