New Mexico - The War on Guns

What We Don’t Know

At least 4 dead, including suspect, in Farmington mass shooting: What we know [More]

I want to see how long it takes to get what we don’t know out there.

I take it this means they’ll want more than “red flag laws” and “universal background checks“?

We’re the Only Ones Unqualified Enough

New Mexico Is the Second State to Ban Qualified Immunity [More]

I’d say it’s about time the anti-gun Democrats did something I agree with, but I’m fearing the devil will be in the details and this will open the door to all kinds of leftist chaos and wealth transfers from the productive…

Back Before You Know It

Gun Control Bills Will be Back in 2024 [More]

The governor wants more, of course. NMSSA outlines what to expect in the next session and announces an upcoming membership meeting.

Electile Dysfunction

On March 30, New Mexico Governor and Democrat Michelle Lujan Grisham signed one of the worst election bills in the U.S. country into law. The bill, dubbed the “New Mexico Voting Rights Act,” is a massive expansion of Democrat-backed election policies that blue states across the nation are intent on ramming through state legislatures. [More]

And guess what one of her major priorities will be.

Go on, guess.

NMSSA Legislative Update 3/15/23

We have less than three days left in the 2023 Legislative Session. What happens in the coming hours will determine what legislation passes, or fails to pass. Here are the bills we are tracking as the session comes to a close. [More]

This hardly means it’s time for NM gun owners to relax.

NMSSA Legislative Update 3/1/23

Today’s legislative action got off to a wild start when the governor threatened to hold a special session to focus on gun control if the legislature doesn’t pass her priority bills. [More]

Ask yourself why she wants them this badly, and if getting them will be enough for her.

NMSSA Legislative Alert 2/28/23

Today, the Governor held a press conference to promote her anti-gun and anti-freedom agenda. But her displeasure at the tabling of SB171 yesterday was noticeable, so she is doubling down on pushing for her slate of anti-gun bills. As a result, two bills were scheduled late today for hearings tomorrow. [More]

Meaning today. Zoom links included.

NMSSA Legislative Update 2/24/23-2/25/23

With about three weeks to go in the 2023 Legislative Session, none of the bills we are watching were heard in committee or were voted on in a floor session. However, that will change next week. [More]

Meaning this week, since I didn’t get this until I’d tucked the blog in for the weekend…

NMSSA Legislative Update 2/19/23

On Friday the 17th, the House Judiciary Committee heard both HB100, the 14-day waiting period bill, and HB101, the ban on the sale of semiautomatic rifles and registration of currently owned ones. [More]

The session is halfway over and heating up.

Hear Your Terms of Surrender Live

On Friday, February 17th, the House Judiciary Committee will be hearing both HB100 and HB101. HB100 would impose a 14 day waiting period for all firearm sales. HB101, would ban the sale of semiautomatic rifles, and .50 caliber rifles and ammunition. Currentl owners of .50 caliber and semiautomatic rifles would have to register them with the state of New Mexico or face criminal charges. [More]

If you have skin in the game, there’s a link to view or testify via Zoom.

NMSSA Legislative Update

Today in the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee, the full-blown attack on our right to keep and bear arms was on open display.[More]

If you’re a New Mexico gun owner, that doesn’t mean NMSSA is under attack, it means you’re under attack.

Why not support the organized effort to fight back?

Any Person

“Any person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a fourth degree felony.” [More]

“Any person” would seem to include any person traversing the state on th e se interstates.

But don’t worry. Any person will be protecte d a s a t r a v ers e r. Maybe.

For this and other “concessions” on illegitimate claims against our birthrights “we” accepted the “voice vote” Hughes Amendment…?

D o e s a n y p e r s o n doubt it will pass?

UPDATE

Gun and Magazine Ban Bills Scheduled for Committee Hearings [More]

NMSSA says “It is absolutely imperative that gun owners speak out on these bills.”

And They’re Off!

One week into the 2023 legislative session, and it’s in full swing already. [More]

I trust all New Mexico readers are active members…?

Yes, They are Coming for Your Guns

In HB101, which was filed today by Representative Andrea Romero, if you own a semi-automatic rifle you would have to destroy it or surrender it to the state by July 1 of this year or you would be committing a felony. The bill also makes it a felony to own a magazine that holds more than 9 rounds. [More]

At some point, there have to be stiff sanctions for in-your-face defiance of the SCOTUS ruling or they’ll just keep pulling this sh!+.

More NM Disarmament Coming

The 2023 New Mexico Legislative Session is just days away from getting started, and the anti-gun bills are pouring in. [More]

They just keep pouring it on.

Making You an Instant Enemy of the State!

HB50 was filed today by Representative Caballero. Under the proposed legislation, owning a magazine that holds 10 or more rounds would make you a felon the moment the law goes into place. The bill even includes a $1.5 million appropriation to “carry out the provisions of the act.” [More]

When communists are in power, they assign the treasonous domestic enemy label to you.
