New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) signed legislation Friday to criminalize private gun sales in the state.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reported that there has been a great divide over the bill, with state-level Democrats pushing it while gun rights groups, the vast majority of New Mexico Sheriffs, and New Mexico county governments oppose it.
Grisham dismissed those who did not support the gun control push, saying, “It’s clear to me that the NRA isn’t going to stop trying to meddle in making this a safer state.”
On March 2, Breitbart News reported that 21 of New Mexico’s 33 counties had declared themselves “Second Amendment Sanctuaries,” to indicate they would not be enforcing the gun control. Moreover, on February 10, Breitbart News reported that 29 of New Mexico’s 33 sheriffs signed a statement against the gun control. And the New Mexico Sheriff’s Association also made clear it planned to sue the state if the new gun control was enacted. more here
Lindsey Graham say me too!
Methinks Lindsey has been trying to curry favor with Conservatives to boost his popularity before the big reveal of his new dress and panties!
I wish the Supreme Court would take a case that has broader impact.
The largest number of criminal sales of guns to criminals are done without background checks.
Does that mean this will come to a stop in New Mexico and there will now only be background checked criminal gun sales to criminals?
“I wish the Supreme Court would take a case that has broader impact.”
…AFTER President Trump replaces Ruth Buzzi, @Left Coast Dan, AFTER, timing is EVERYTHING and the President understands that…
This law will surely stop
criminals from buying/selling
to each other. Yea Right!
I have a much BETTER idea- why don’t we just make it ILLEGAL to MURDER PEOPLE?
Wait till they come across 100 year lease agreements.
Would trading drugs for guns apply?
Asking for a friend…
New Mexico… just as useless as the Old Mexico.
Politicians have failed miserably at lowering crimes committed by criminals with illegally obtained guns. So they declare war on innocent citizens who purchase their guns legally? Same idiots want to lower BAC from .08 to .05 because drunks who have BACs 2.0 and higher keep killing while driving drunk.
If these political morons keep this up, someone’s going to use the 2A for what it it’s intended for.
When do we get the bill that removes anyone from elected office if they vote for bills that defy the constitution?
But what about illegal-alien invading rat-people?
Will this apply to them?
Isn’t that racist, or something?
Sort of a double-jeopardy? Illegal alien, illegal gun owner, illegal gun possessor, illegal gun trader? See? This could stigmatize the latino community.
