The Albuquerque Journal reported:
SANTA FE – A hotly contested bill allowing for court-ordered firearm seizures from New Mexicans deemed to pose a threat to themselves or others is one step closer to a decisive Senate floor vote.
The Extreme Risk Firearm Protection Order Act, also known as the red flag gun bill, passed the Senate Public Affairs Committee on a 4-3 party-line vote Tuesday, with majority Democrats voting in favor and Republicans in opposition.
The best chance for defeating this (SB5) and the House of Representatives' red flag bill (HB7) is to concentrate on the rural Democrats who are pro-Second Amendment to counter the leftist Democrats in the urban areas.
Steve Raines posted at Gun Owners of New Mexico's Facebook page:
Gun owners beware! From what I learned about my visit to The Roundhouse today is extremely concerning! I'm talking to some of the conservative Democrats and Republicans the governor is trying to push this red flag Bill through in this 30-day session because she feels she has enough power over some of the conservative Democrat up north to get it passed. Reason being they've got young Progressive Democrats running against them and they were afraid they're going to lose the election so a lot of them are on the fence when it comes to this SB 5 HB 7 bill.What pro-Second Amendment citizens should be doing is to back those conservative/pro-2A Democrats in their re-election campaigns.
It should be made clear that if the rural Democrats back our 2A stands, we will in turn back them in their re-elections. Play the Left's game. They pay attention to those who contribute to their campaigns. So get your checkbooks out, folks!
