SANTA FE – Lawmakers are evaluating a wide-ranging package of proposals to impose new firearms restrictions in New Mexico.

Democrats hold large majorities in both chambers and have made gun legislation a priority this year.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, also called on lawmakers to take action during her State of the State address.

One proposal – a restriction on a straw purchase for a felon – has bipartisan sponsorship.

House Bill 306: Illegal straw purchases

Who wrote this bill? Did they not realize straw purchases are already illegal?

[CedarDave]

HB-101 will make felons after July 1 of this year of any citizen who does not give up his weapon:

C. Any person who may not lawfully possess a large- capacity magazine commencing July 1, 2023 shall, prior to July 1, 2023:
(1) remove the large-capacity magazine from the state;
(2) sell the large-capacity magazine to a licensed firearms dealer; or
(3) surrender the large-capacity magazine to a law enforcement agency for destruction.
D. Any person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a fourth degree felony."

LOTS of rural spaces where illegal INVADERS are bothering ranchers, etc.

EVERY farm kid/ranch kid I ever knew could shoot very well by age 10 or so.

“IF guns are illegal, only illegals will have guns” seems to be the new mantra of progressive leftists. We have a war on two fronts already. Illegals and leftists and both are trying to push us over a cliff. You can let them or you can stand up against them. Tough choice.

The invaders can be two footed, four footed or no-footed (snakes). Friends of mine on a farm north of Oil Patch City have four young adults (two boys and two girls) who all learned to shoot as children and carry when working on the farm.

The Karen is strong in this one.

My nephew moved to Albuquerque right before Covid - he cannot believe how Far Left New Mexico is - he is moving to Texas and getting the heck out of NM.

Sad to see what’s become of NM there CedarDave. Soon The Land of Disenchantment. 🙄

[Alas Babylon!]

The highest court in the land, which, last time I looked, contained New Mexico, has ruled.

“Shall not be infringed” actually means what it says.

Your right to keep and bear is a permanent, complete right that they, not you, have to follow.

F off, to any cop trying to enforce these unconstitutional laws. Arrest yourself.

House Bill 306: Illegal straw purchases

uuuuummm, that’s already a federal crime, so...

The communists and Nazis never quit trying to seize total control (dictatorship as existed in Soviet Union and Nazi germany ). It is their wet dream

My folks moved here from Idaho to be closer to us. New Mexico has really gone hard left over the last five years. If I didn't have my folks to worry about moving again, it'd be a lot easier to pack up and move somewhere more conservative. I really love New Mexico for its food, history, variations in topography and weather. But it's getting to the point where I'm not welcome in a state I've made home for nearly 18 years.

Do Mexican Cartels and armed drug mules and sicarios get to keep their magazines capable of more than 10 rounds and AR-15s or other rifles with a pistol grip or barrel shroud or any semi-auto pistols capable of holding magazines with more than 10 rounds?

Asking for a friend who doesn't want to have his family overwhelmed with heavily armed criminals and criminal alien invaders and assassins.
