DemocRat socialists spreading their disease. Another attack and harassment, like California, on law abiding citizens rights.
How about life in prison with no parole for crimes with firearms??? Oh no, criminals have rights....
Expect this to go through in all leftist (ugh) states. Sickening and disgusting control freaks. Only a national law prohibiting state laws more strict than federal law or a successful lawsuit will correct this injustice.
Isn’t this essentially the same as the law recently passed-by-referendum in Nevada and deemed unenforceable?
We need a FEDERAL law that requires VOTERS to undergo the SAME requirements to vote as citizens are required to obtain a weapon in a given state.
NM Ping list.
How long is Arizona going to stay red with evil California and rapidly-worsening New Mexico on either side of it, and old Mexico below it? Seems like every retiring lefty I know is going to AZ.
I see enough Californians have moved in to effect this kind of crap.

HB50 was formally introduced by Democratic State Representative Stephanie Garcia Richard who hopes the bill will keep firearms out of criminal hands and reduce overall gun violence.

What bothers me the most, is when republican governor Martinez was asked about this bill, her spokesman said her position hasn’t changed. That means, if I understand it correctly, is that she would sign it into law. There previously was an almost identical bill that never made it out of committee, but she said she would sign it. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.
This was a major turning point for many republicans I know who had supported her. Before ever getting elected, she had promised to not give an inch to the anti-gun crowd. THAT was maybe her biggest selling point that got her elected over some other decent candidates.
New Mexico continues to draw many libtards from out of state. This legislation is being pushed by Bloomberg.
