New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence Under Sheriff Investigation

New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence could be in deep doo-doo over their gun buy-back and other activities.

The sheriff of San Juan County has begun an investigtion. 

The Piñon Post reported:

San Juan County, NM – In a bid to ensure adherence to state and federal laws governing firearm transactions, Sheriff Shane Ferrari has initiated an investigation into the activities of the “New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence” group led by far-left anti-gun activist Miranda Viscoli. 

The focus of the inquiry is centered on the group’s gun buyback program, specifically evaluating its compliance with New Mexico State Law 30-7-7.1, which pertains to the “Unlawful sale of a firearm without a background check.”

Addressing the media, Sheriff Ferrari emphasized the importance of transparency and clarified the motive behind the investigation. “Before it comes out in the media and gets twisted one way or another, I want to inform you that I am investigating San Juan County citizens’ complaints on ‘New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence’ gun buyback program not complying with New Mexico State Law 30-7-7.1 ‘Unlawful sale of a firearm without a background check.’”

NM Anti-Gun Group Flouting Law They Advocated

The wacko ultra-left group, New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence (NMPGV), who has one of the most idiotic radio ads telling people to "store firearms unloaded and secured with effective, child-resistant gun locks in a locked container out of the reach and sight of children.  Store ammunition in a locked place that is separate from the firearm."

Well, if some home invaders decide to target your home, having your guns unloaded and locked up with ammo stored in a separate locked place won't protect you or your family. What will you do? Tell the home invaders to "old on a minute so I can get my gun out and load it"?

Now, it appears they are flouting the law they had advocated.

From Piñon Post:

In a post made on X, formerly Twitter, the anti-gun group New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence (NMPGV), run by Democrats’ anti-gun darling Miranda Viscoli, announced in so many words that it was breaking the law — then kept on digging itself in a hole when challenged.

“Pictured are unwanted firearms from one household in Farmington, NM.  Our gun buyback was [canceled] by the City, but local residents asked us to show up anyway. So, we spent today dismantling guns house by house,” wrote the group, with a photo accompanying the post. The post immediately sparked a fierce response.

“The @NMStatePolice should investigate a private party going door to door and sawing people’s guns in half without doing a background check as required for a transfer in New Mexico.  The @FBI and @ATFHQ (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) should also look into this since a private group does NOT have the ability to check NCIC to see if they are now in possession of a stolen firearm. So many crimes committed by this anti-gun group” posted state Rep. Stefani Lord (R-Sandia Park).
