During her opening speech, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham called legislators to pass several gun control proposals that have been filed in the New Mexico Legislature. Some of proposals include a “universal background check,” a bill that would requires federal firearm licensed dealers to pay a $200 fee annually to establish a system for the Department of Public Safety to run stolen firearm checks on any used firearm FFL purchases, a bill that would require criminal record checks on private firearm sales at gun shows, an extreme protection order bill, and a mandatory storage bill.
Governor Lujan Grisham supports these proposals, stating that “hunters, sportsmen and responsible gun owners also recognize the need for New Mexico to take steps toward smart, effective gun violence prevention.” This implies that the pro-gun community supports these restrictive measures. We encourage you to contact Governor Lujan Grisham and tell her that you strongly oppose these initiatives.
We also encourage you to attend these hearings, which are scheduled for Thursday, January 24 at 1:30pm in Room 317 of the State Capitol. We will notify you if there are any changes in the schedules, as soon as possible.
