Dear New Mexicans,
Several Bills have been introduced to the NM Legislature that go against gun rights, even going so far as to ban any gun with a capacity of more than 9 rounds (which would mean that many handguns would be banned, and anyone in possession of these guns would be guilty of a felony).
Will you please give two minutes to urge your legislators to vote against the anti-gun bills that have been introduced into the legislature? Go here to easily take action:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Thus far, the following 5 anti-gun Bills have been introduced to the NM Legislature.
- HB9 – Making it a crime for the gun owner if a minor accesses a firearm and a felony for the gun owner if a minor harms someone with a gun
- HB50 – Making it a felony to possess a gun with a capacity of more than 9 rounds, which would mean many handguns would be illegal to possess (even for people who already own these guns); KOAT news story about the potential effects of this Bill is here: https://www.koat.com/article/new-mexico-bill-50-large-gun-mags-magazines/42468329
