NMSSA Legislative Update 1/25

 

Today in the House Consumer and Public Affairs CommitteeHB127, the under-21 gun ban, HB129, the house version of a 14 business day waiting period, and HB137, the semiautomatic gun ban were all heard and passed late in the evening on party-line votes. Representatives Lord and Block did a great job questioning the sponsors and advocating for our rights. But those voting in favor didn't ask a single meaningful question despite the fact that these bills would impact hundreds of thousands of New Mexicans. The bills now move onto the  House Judiciary Committee.

Three gun control bills will be heard tomorrow, 1/26. HB114, the bill that would make the firearms industry an easy target for litigation that could put them out of business, will be heard in the House Judiciary Committee. That meeting is scheduled for 1:30pm in Room 309 (zoom link). Keep in mind that committee meetings often start late.

Second, SB69, the senate version of a 14 business day waiting period bill, will be heard in the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee on Friday 1/26. They meet after the afternoon senate floor session in Room 311 (zoom link).

Third, SB5, the polling place gun ban, will be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday 1/26. They meet after the afternoon senate floor session in Room 321 (zoom link).

HB81, the gun safe tax credit bill, will also be heard Friday 1/26 in the House Commerce and Economic Development Committee scheduled for 1:30pm in Room 317 (zoom link).

We have seen numerous gun control bills filed, but as the filing deadline for the 2024 session is still a few days away, more are still being filed. HB144 would create a new state agency to address "gun violence," but that agency would be able to give grants to third party gun control groups. In other words, the state could funnel your taxpayer dollars to gun control groups who could use them to advocate against your rights. SB204 would ban carrying a firearm in a park or playground - a legislative version of the governor's failed executive order. This bill was filed despite the fact that a judge issued an injunction against the ban on firearms in parks.

Here are links to pre-written emails to send to legislators asking them to oppose gun control bills. Oppose HB27Oppose HB114Oppose HB 127Oppose HB129Oppose HB137Oppose SB5Oppose SB69Oppose SB90, and Oppose SJR12. We put these together with our partners at Better Together NM.
