NMSSA Legislative Update 1/27

 

On Monday 1/29, the House Judiciary Committee will be hearing both HB27, the red-flag law expansion, and HB129, the house version of a 14 business-day waiting period. The meeting is scheduled for 1:30pm in Room 309 (zoom link). On Tuesday the 30th, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee will be hearing HB144. The bill would allow the state to funnel taxpayer dollars to gun control organizations. That meeting is scheduled for 1:30pm in Room 317 (zoom link).

Yesterday, HB114, the bill that would make the firearms industry an easy target for litigation that could put them out of business, passed the House Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote. The bill now heads for the House Floor. We need everyone to contact their representative and ask them to oppose the bill. The next vote on it is likely our best shot if we are going to stop this from becoming law. Here is a link to a pre-written email to Oppose HB114.

SB69, the senate version of a 14 business day waiting period bill, passed out of the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee on a party-line vote yesterday. The bill now heads to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Bizarrely, the bill's sponsor Senator Cervantes, who is also chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, claimed that the Bruen decision from the Supreme Court will be overturned soon and "won't last six months" during the committee hearing. The bill now heads to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

In the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, SB5, the polling place gun ban passed out of the committee on a party-line vote. The bill now heads to the Senate Floor. Here is a link to a pre-written email to Oppose SB5.

While it is frustrating to see gun control bills seemingly roll right through committees, participation from gun owners and Second-Amendment supporters has been noticeably lighter this year. If we are going to stop bad legislation in Santa Fe, we are all need to step up and advocate for our rights.

HB81, the gun safe tax credit bill, was unanimously passed in House Commerce and Economic Development Committee on Friday. The bill now heads to the House Taxation and Revenue Committee.

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