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.

Disarming its citizens during an invasion of illegal immigrants
House Bill 306: Illegal straw purchases
Who wrote this bill? Did they not realize straw purchases are already illegal?

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