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 16th. Furthermore, 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!
