Magazine ban being pushed in NM House

Possession of Certain Magazines = Felony

The Anti-Gun Left is at it again! New Mexico HB 156 is an overt attack on your Second Amendment rights. Radical Leftist Rep. Patricia Roybal Caballer is attempting to take possession of any magazine, which holds more than 15 cartridges, a felony.

Anyone who is convicted of a felony forfeits their right to keep and bear arms in all 50 states! This HB 156 not only criminalizes the possession but also bans the manufacture, sale, transfer, or gifting of any magazine that has a capacity in excess of 15 rounds.

Since criminals, by their very nature, ignore the laws, HB 156 is a direct attack on the law-abiding people of New Mexico.

Tomorrow, February 1, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee will conduct a public hearing on HB 156. Time is of the essence, so please contact the Committee members and urge them to reject HB 156. At the bottom of this email, there is a pre-written message to send to your representative.

PRE-WRITTEN EMAIL TO LEGISLATORS:

Dear Legislator,

As a resident of New Mexico and a supporter of Gun Owners of America, I urge you to oppose HB 156. There is no demonstrated problem that HB 156 will solve. HB 156 will make law-abiding residents of New Mexico instant felons if they choose to continue to possess the property that they lawfully acquired.

There are many reasons why law-abiding citizens should never have their self-defense capabilities limited. There are very tragic stories that demonstrate what happens when homeowners run out of ammunition because they were facing multiple attackers. To be sure, criminals will not adhere to any law that limits magazine capacity, so doing so will only put citizens in grave danger.

Please oppose HB 156. Gun Owners of America will keep me informed about your vote.

Thank you!
