Years ago I worked in South Carolina and the saying there then was "Thank God for Mississippi, otherwise we'd be No. 50." Well, Old Miss is still at 50, but NM is getting close at 43.
Though this bill is unenforceable in many regards, one place that it likely CAN be enforced, is at a gun show, which is what the anti-gun retards want to do away with. The anti-gun idiots buy into all the propaganda about gun shows being some sort of firearms clearinghouse for people with bad intent. Yes, a private seller possibly could sell an AK to a closet Muslim who has bad plans for that rifle, but unless he’s an idiot, he’ll find that rifle one way or another despite whatever laws are on the books.
This legislation is nothing more than one more little bit of our 2A freedoms being taken away. All these little bit at a time anti-gun laws are starting to become, or have become, quite the infringement when added all together.
I’m very, very, very disappointed with Governor Martinez for going along with this crap.
They keep talking about extending background checks to private sales, but if it’s going through an FFL, it’s not a private sale. IOW, they outlaw private sales. And that I can’t support.
Well it hasn’t. gotten through to her desk - yet, but agree she hasn’t spoken out against it. She needs to take a position in opposition to this overreach.
She’s taken a position for it. One or another spokesperson of hers said a couple weeks ago that nothing has changed, she has the same position as before, in reference to the last time similar legislation was presented, in which she said she would sign it if it made it to her desk. Last time, the bills died in committee, fortunately.
