SANTA FE — A bill expanding background check requirements for New Mexico gun sales cleared a key stumbling block Thursday, as members of the Senate voted 22-20 to pass the measure after more than three hours of debate.

The legislation, along with other gun bills pending at the Roundhouse, have drawn opposition from most county sheriffs statewide and prompted at least two New Mexico counties — Quay and Socorro — to adopt ordinances suggesting they would not enforce the law.

I just contacted our local sheriff.
Requesting as CedarDave has done,
to declare our county as a sanctuary
county against infringements of the
2A.

There are ways around it. You and your friends be creative.

Hey, look what I found by the side of the road ! An AR-15 !!

I mean, I had to pay someone $850.00 to clean it for me, but what a cool find :)

Wonder how they can stop private sales w/o having records of all guns and trackers on them all...about the only way would be to have a record of a purchase and have the weapon turn up as evidence in a crime...and even that would be hard to prove.

At some point, this becomes a hill to die on.

I just wonder how many have "connected the dots" to understand that it also makes it the hill to KILL on.

You voted for Rat control of state government, Nuevo Mexicans.

I think there was some significant vote fraud going on. Rio Rancho, the largest city in Sandoval County, has a Repub mayor and majority Repub city council. The entirety of the county went rat this last year.

There were at least two visits to my house by people with who knows what groups trying to ascertain if someone still lived here. I wouldn't answer them, but I think they were looking at the prior resident who moved out of the city/county. I'd love to see if anyone in that family voted in Sandoval County in the 2018 mid-terms (essentially someone voting in their name).

Also, normally conservative areas of the state all-of-the-sudden go dem? Not believing it.
