Send emails opposing New Mexico House Bill 402, an attack on all guns rights
War to Mobilize Democracy ^ | Feb. 17, 2013 | netWMD Staff

Posted on 02/17/2013 5:25:20 PM PST by forty_years

This page allows you to tell the entire membership of both the New Mexico House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee and the House Judiciary Committee (18 representatives) to oppose House Bill 402 with one mouse click. HB 402 is an "all-out assault on law-abiding gun owners" in New Mexico. The bill is "one of the worst gun control bills filed in the entire country," as it would ban "the future possession and transport of a so-called 'assault weapon' or 'large-capacity ammunition-feeding devices.'" The legislation would mean that "Ownership of the affected firearms and magazines could not be transferred AT ALL. The only means of disposing of them would be through a gun 'buyback' or turn-in program to law enforcement -- no inheritance, no allowing a friend or relative to take custody of the prohibited property, no selling or transferring the property out-of-state or even to a federally-licensed dealer." The "assault weapons" the bill would ban are not "assault weapons" at all, even according to the federal government (see detailed explanation here). Finally, "HB 402 also bans ammunition feeding devices with a capacity to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition or that contain more than seven rounds of ammunition. This is just one example of how poorly-drafted this bill is in a rush to follow New York's lead (where gun control advocates sought to reduce the existing ten round state limit). Additionally, HB 402 includes prohibitions on items specifically excluded in even the most far-reaching bans we've seen to-date: full ten-round magazines routinely used for competition and feeding devices that are curios or relics!"

Your message will be sent to 18 New Mexico House Representatives -- OPTIONAL: it would help if you also called each member to follow up:

This thing was coordinated straight out of the White Hut. Every state you can name is ginning up a bunch of gun control laws.

None of them will pass, but they will distract us from something else that they are getting passed.

They are doing something "under the radar" right now. I can feel it.

E.P.U., I agree with your succinctly stated post. I could have written that (although it might have required a few paragraphs.)

One teensy quibble. The gun control bills in the once-Golden State of California? They just might pass.

Write on, my FRiend.

Yeah, many states are using the same text verbatim. We still have to let them know that they can't flush national and state constitutions down the toilet.

Part of the hoo-hah is to get people distracted from the looming financial crisis.

I do believe you have a point. We are about ready to experience a financial catastrophe that no politician will want to be associated with.

The House and Senate are controlled by Democrats, but the governor is Susana Martinez, a rising star in the Republic Party, a really spunky, independent-minded person. She's no automaton, and has physically gotten out on the street to help people a couple of times.

What they are ‘doing’ with this coordinated gun control garbage from the White Hut - is stoking and poking Americans with a stick in hopes of getting a violent reaction.

It’s a win-win strategy for the MarxoFascists now in power. If Americans react to overt tyranny by using the Second Amendment as it was intended, then the Tyrant State brings down an iron fist of death to the applause of the drones that make up more than half the country.

If Americans do not take the bait - then NerObama disarms and guts the 2nd Amendment by defacto law - and criminalizes his those of us he hates.

He wins regardless at this point - tactically.

There is a variable however, and that is - a violent upheaval never goes exactly as planned or hoped. If we do nothing but write the Politburo and gripe online about these tyrannical offenses to our birthrights - then NerObama achieves disarmament and dictatorship which will preclude our elimination. If Americans take action when the Statists make their last mistake - the outcome is not as certain.

His Heinous is counting on the fact that an entitlement drone army of minions will support brutal genocide against those whom he will blame for empty store shelves and disruption of ‘normalcy’ should Americans resist what he is about to do.

It’s 1940 Germany - and this time - American Christian Conservatives are this generation’s Jews.

We must incorporate our firearms; they then belong to the stockholders.

First we are NOT a democracy, second we are way past anything like this stopping the Obama fascists from removing our rights, third no one cares anymore, we are starting a 1,000 years of darkness.
