NEW MEXICO FIREARMS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION To PROTECT, PRESERVE and PROMOTE the firearms industry in New Mexico newmexicofia.org Oppose Senate Bill 17 (SB17) The NEW MEXICO FIREARMS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION is alerting customers and supporters to the Unconstitutional Senate Bill 17 (SB17) — one of the most sweeping gun control bills introduced in New Mexico in recent years. SB17 has been scheduled for its 2nd committee hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, February 2, 2026 at 1:30 PM. Room 321. We need to stop this bill now! ❌ What SB17 Does SB17, titled the “Stop Illegal Gun Trade and Extremely Dangerous Weapons Act,” would: Ban the sale and transfer of commonly owned gas-operated semi-automatic firearms Ban standard-capacity magazines holding more than 10 rounds Classify these lawful firearms and magazines as “extremely dangerous weapons” Impose extensive new regulations on New Mexico gun stores, including: Create a Statewide Gun Registry with your Gun information that the State has access too. Costly security mandates Expanded reporting and record-keeping requirements Mandatory training and age requirements for dealer employees Increased inspections and civil penalties These provisions target law-abiding gun owners and small businesses, not criminals. They want to put Gun Stores out of Business! ⚠️ Why NMFIA Opposes SB17 SB17 does nothing to address violent crime or criminal misuse of firearms. Instead, it: Restricts constitutionally protected firearms commonly owned by New Mexicans Places crushing regulatory burdens on local, family-owned gun stores Diverts resources away from enforcing existing laws against violent offenders Punishes responsible citizens while criminals continue to ignore the law Public safety is achieved through enforcement, accountability, and education — not blanket bans and overregulation. 📣 TAKE ACTION NOW We need your voice. ✔️ Contact members of the Senate Judiciary Committee ✔️ Submit public comment opposing SB17 ✔️ Attend or watch the hearing on Monday, February 2nd at 1:30 PM (Room 321) ✔️ Share this alert with friends and family Your engagement matters.
