New Mexico's leftist Democrats are trying to emulate the Commiefornia Democrats more and more with each passing day.
The latest is a Commiefornia import: an excise tax on firearms, ammunition, firearm precursor parts and suppressors.
The NRA-ILA reported:
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.
