| The 2026 New Mexico Legislative Session is well underway. Below is where we stand and what is on the agenda for the upcoming week. The “omnibus” gun control bill now has a number and its first committee assignment. SB17 is in the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee. It has yet to be scheduled for a hearing, but it could be heard as soon as Wednesday the 28th. The bill would ban the sale of “gas-operated” semi-automatic firearms, magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and place a litany of restrictions on New Mexico gun stores. On Monday the 26th, the New Mexico Attorney General will be giving a presentation to the Senate Judiciary Committee on where the state stands in defending the 7-day waiting period (zoom link). That will take place in Room 321 at 1:30pm or 1/2 hour after the conclusion of the senate floor session. On Tuesday, the 27th, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee will be hearing HB25. The bill would ban anyone with a “juvenile disposition for a delinquent act involving use of a firearm” from owning a firearm for 10 years from the disposition. In the juvenile system, disposition is the term used instead of conviction. It is possible there will be more bills and committee hearings of interest to gun owners this week – the 30-day session moves very quickly.
