CALL TO ACTION!

WE NEED EVERY ONE TO EMAIL THESE PEOPLE AND TELL THEM YOU OPPOSE THE ANTI-AMERICAN GUN BANS!


The New Mexico Legislature convened on Tuesday for the 2024 30-day session, and anti-gun lawmakers have fully resumed their attacks on your Second Amendment rights! It is vital that you contact your State Representative and urge them to OPPOSE HB 27, HB 114, HB 127, HB 129 and Governor Lujan Grisham’s Gun Ban. You must also contact your State Senators, urging them to OPPOSE SB 5, SB 69, SB 90, and the Governor’s Gun Ban.

CLICK HERE TO TAKE ACTION

This list of extremist gun control, which would make Biden and Bloomberg proud, will continue until the filing deadline on January 31st. Your NRA-ILA will be at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe fighting these measures every day, but we need YOU to take action in defense of the Second Amendment, for in the Land of Enchantment it truly takes all of us to protect our freedoms. Please stay tuned for when these bills are scheduled for public hearings and votes.
The Current Legislation on the Table:
Governor Lujan Grisham’s so-called “assault weapons” bill, modeled after U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich’s GOSAFE Act in Congress, has not been filed yet – but it will be introduced this session, along with legislation creating “gun-free” zones in city and county parks and playgrounds.
House Bill 27 by Rep. Joy Garratt
Expands State Red Flag Gun Confiscation Law
Allows law enforcement officers and undefined licensed health care professionals to be “reporting parties” to petitioners for extreme risk protective orders and requires immediate surrender of firearms upon service of temporary or regular extreme risk protective orders (ERPOs). This law should be repealed, not expanded!
House Bill 114 by Rep. Christine Chandler
Lawsuits Against the Firearms Industry
Allows the state attorney general or a district attorney to bring an action for injunctive relief and civil penalties against anyone in the firearms industry for alleged violations of the newly devised Firearms Industry Accountability Act, vastly increasing their liability exposure when advertising legal products or conducting lawful business activities. Private causes of action are also created. Here’s what the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the leading firearms industry trade group, had to say about the Dangers of HB 114!
House Bill 127 by Rep. Reena Szczepanski
Raise the Age
Bans anyone under the age of 21 from purchasing or possessing any semi-automatic firearm, or any standard capacity magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition, with limited exceptions. Also criminalizes the sale or transfer of ownership of these firearms or magazines to anyone under 21.
House Bill 129 by Rep. Andrea Romero
State Waiting Period
Imposes a 14-business day waiting period on firearms purchases, which would make for the longest firearm purchase delay in the country.
Senate Bill 5 by Sen. Peter Wirth
Gun-Free Zone Expansion
Bans the possession of firearms within 100 feet of polling places or within 50 feet of a postal collection box.
Senate Bill 69 by Sen. Joseph Cervantes
State Waiting Period
Imposes a 14-business day waiting period on firearms purchases except by valid concealed handgun licensees, the longest firearm purchase delay in the country.
Senate Bill 90 by Sen. Linda Lopez
Tax on New Mexico Gun Owners & Sportsmen
Imposes a California-style 11% excise tax on firearms, firearm precursor parts, suppressors and ammunition, to be collected from New Mexico firearms retailers and sporting goods outlets and placed in the crime victim’s reparation fund and a fund for services to children and families involved in abuse or neglect situations.
For the next 30 days, it is beyond important that gun owners and freedom supporters stay engaged! If you want to become more involved on the Frontlines in New Mexico, please do not hesitate to email me at Clay@nrailafrontlines.com.

2024 New Mexico Legislative Session officially started – And boy are we in trouble!

Today, the 2024 New Mexico Legislative Session officially started. The governor wasted no time attacking out rights in her State of the State speech. She has made it clear that once again she is targeting your right to own a firearm while ignoring New Mexico’s broken criminal justice system. This year is a 30-day budget session, but there have been a multitude of gun related bills filed so far. Here is the list we are tracking, some we support, most we are opposed to.

HB27 – Expand New Mexico’s “red-flag extreme risk protection order” gun confiscation law to allow a police officers and any “health care professionals” to seek an order against someone. It would also allow police to obtain a search warrant under the purely civil orders and require an accused party to immediately surrender their firearms.

HB58 – Remove the law passed in 2019 to criminalize private firearm sales.

HB78 – Make New Mexico a permitless or “constitutional” concealed carry state.

HB79 – Reduce gross receipts tax on firearm and ammunition sales.

HB81 – Tax credits for gun safe purchases. While this is a concept we support, one of the bill’s sponsors was also a sponsor of mandatory storage laws in the past, so it is a bill we will be watching very carefully.

HB114 – Increased civil liability for the firearms industry by creating new civil actions against gun manufacturers and retailers in New Mexico. Several New Mexico FFLs have told us they would go out of business if this bill passes.

HB127 – Banning anyone under 21 from purchasing or possessing a semiautomatic firearm. An 18-year old who currently own a semiautomatic firearm would not be allowed to keep their gun if the bill passes.

HB129 – Mandatory 14-day waiting period on firearm sales. After you purchased a gun, you would have to wait 14 business days before you could take it home with you.

SB5 – Banning firearms near polling places.

Additionally, we are expecting several more bills that have yet to be filed, or do not have a bill number yet.
• A semi-automatic rife ban that would also require current owners to register their firearms with the state.
• Another version of a 14-day waiting period bill.
• A bill that would impose an 11% excise tax on the sales of firearms and ammunition.
• A bill that would impose even more restrictions on where someone can carry a firearm.
This is going to be a very busy session for gun owners. We will be sending out alerts as we receive information on bills and when they will be heard.

PRO SLAVERY DEMOCRATS PROPOSE NEW GUN TAX!

CALIFORNIA-STYLE GUN AND AMMO TAX PRE-FILED IN NEW MEXICO SENATE
PRO SLAVERY DEMOCRATS PROPOSE NEW GUN TAX!
The attacks on the Second Amendment keep coming in the Land of Enchantment!  More anti-gun legislation has been pre-filed this week, this time by State Senator Linda Lopez (D-ABQ), who is proposing a California-style 11% excise tax on firearms, firearm precursor parts, suppressors, and ammunition, to be collected from New Mexico firearms retailers and sporting goods outlets and placed in both the crime victims reparation fund and a fund for services to children and families involved in abuse or neglect situations (the latter being an area where the current administration and state agencies have failed abysmally.)  This bill would make it more expensive for law-abiding citizens to exercise a constitutional right and to practice or train with firearms to become safer and more proficient when using them recreationally, or for hunting, competition or self-defense.   This tax on your Second Amendment rights will not be assigned a bill number until after the New Mexico Legislature convenes next Tuesday, January 16th.  And we are still waiting for progressive, anti-gun lawmakers to file Governor Gun Grab’s legislation banning semi-automatic firearms and limiting magazine capacity.  Now is the time to begin contacting your State Senator and State Representative and urging them to OPPOSE waiting periods and special taxes on lawful firearms purchases, bans on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms, and limits on standard capacity magazines for those firearms.     Also, make sure you register for NRA-ILA’s pre-session webinar taking place at 7:00pm on Monday, January 15th, to learn how you can help stop these attacks on your Second Amendment rights at the Roundhouse.

FAR LEFT DEM PROPOSED 14DAY WAIT PEROID!

Late Tuesday evening, New Mexico State Senator Joseph Cervantes (D-Las Cruces) pre-filed legislation what would impose a 14-day waiting period on law-abiding gun buyers. If enacted, this bill would make for the longest firearms purchase waiting period in the country, delaying your Second Amendment right to buy a firearm to defend yourself, your family and your property. Contact your State Senator and State Representatives now, and urge them to OPPOSE this measure, and other anti-gun legislation we will face during the 30-day legislative session!   



The proposed legislation will add nothing to the existing FBI background check process and will apply when going to a federal firearm licensed dealer (FFL) to transfer a firearm ordered online. An assigned bill number will not be placed on this measure until the legislature convenes on Tuesday, January 16thFurthermore, we expect more anti-gun lawmakers to file more radical legislation banning semi-automatic firearms and imposing limits on magazine capacity.  Be sure to register for the New Mexico NRA-ILA Legislative Kickoff Webinar we are hosting on Monday, January 15th, at 7:00 p.m. to learn more about these proposed measures and the actions you can take to defend your Second Amendment rights in New Mexico!

2024 NM LEGISLATIVE SEASON

ARE THE DEMS TRYING TO STEAL YOUR RIGHTS!

As we approach the start of the 2024 New Mexico Legislative Session, there are more bills we want to make you aware of. First, while we don’t have a bill number yet, Senator Cervantes has said that he will again file a firearm waiting period bill. The bill would require a 14 Business Day wait before a purchased firearm could be taken home. Once we have a bill number we will send an update.

The 30-day session is a budget session, so non-budget bills require a message from the governor to be added to the agenda. Here are some bills that have been filed, but we don’t know yet if they will be heard.

HB58 from Representative Lord would repeal New Mexico’s law criminalizing private firearm sales. HB78 from Representative Block would make New Mexico a permitless, or constitutional carry, state. HB79 from Representative Block would reduce gross receipts tax on firearm and ammunition sales. HB81 from Representatives Reeb and Hernandez would give New Mexicans a tax credit for purchasing a gun safe. 

We will continue to update you on the progress of firearm related legislation in Santa Fe. Please forward our email alerts to your contacts who need to know what is happening in Santa Fe and let them know they can subscribe for free anytime. Also, please consider donating to NMSSA to help us keep up the fight for your rights in New Mexico.

The recent decision by the New Mexico Governor to ban firearms within Bernalillo County has raised concerns over the constitutionality of such a measure. While public safety is undoubtedly a critical consideration, it is vital that any law enacted aligns with the constitutional rights of citizens. In this case, the prohibition on firearms within the county appears to infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding individuals.
 
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution explicitly states, “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This constitutional provision grants citizens the fundamental right to possess firearms for self-defense, hunting, and other lawful purposes. Therefore, any governmental action that directly curtails this right should be subjected to careful scrutiny.
 
Banning firearms in Bernalillo County raises the question of whether it is a justifiable restriction on Second Amendment rights. Proponents argue that it will enhance public safety by reducing the risk of gun-related crimes and accidents. However, opponents counter that such localized bans disproportionately impact law-abiding citizens, as criminals are unlikely to abide by these restrictions.
 
Moreover, imposing such a ban restricts the ability of individuals to protect themselves and their families. In a nation where personal safety remains an essential concern for many, this curtailment of rights may undermine the well-established principle of self-defense.
 
While the Governor’s intentions to safeguard public safety are commendable, it is imperative to examine alternative approaches that strike a balance between protecting citizens and preserving their constitutional rights. Implementing comprehensive background checks, enhancing mental health services, and promoting responsible firearm ownership are just a few examples of measures that can address the concerns without infringing upon the Second Amendment.
 
In conclusion, the recent ban on firearms within Bernalillo County raises valid concerns surrounding its constitutionality. The essential principle of individual rights, particularly the right to bear arms, must be duly respected. Balancing the genuine concerns for public safety with the preservation of constitutional rights is an ongoing challenge, requiring a nuanced and thoughtful approach that acknowledges the complex nature of the issue at hand.
