Chaos at the Capitol as House passes gun legislation (NM - Dems control Gov and Legislature)

Large pvc pipe. Put on screw on caps. Load in your possessions. Bury in yard

“Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory”, will only last so long. And we’re well past that time.

Socialism/communism and fascism are slowly taking-over our Beloved Republic, and will ruin us all.

[Chode]

kinda like NY... who’d a thunk it?

[grumpygresh]

Fourteenth amendment. The leftists used it for “homosexual marriage”

NM state police have a pretty bad reputation. I think they like to SWAT. Pretty bad if they start enforcing this type of of law.

Since when should it be easier to obtain an abortion than to purchase a firearm.

[MrKatykelly]

Where do recent arrivals come from in New Mexico? California and Mexico? People moving from sh*&th#*#es they’ve made just create new shi#$@holes.

[Don W]

Wasn’t it in NM that the state patrol arrested some guy, then ran him through several enemas and other medical procedures on suspicion of drugs, then tried to make him pay for their violating him, AFTER there was nothing found?

Yeah, I can’t see what state agency might try to enforce this blatantly unconstitutional law, how about you?

[MileHi]

Anything purchased through a firearms dealer requires a NICS (background) check. Are you saying PA already requires a check on private handgun sales?

[Mr Rogers]

The conservative areas of NM don’t have enough voters. ABQ & Sante Fe and the hippies have the controlling votes in NM.

[MileHi]

Polesmoker being the new governor backed by a commie state house and senate, they’ll be going full bore gun grabber on us this year.

We already have galactic background checks, right? What date did that go into effect?

[Carriage Hill]

I can sell 1mm long gun sales, privately, with a simple Sales Receipt in MS-Word, which I designed.

To buy/sell a handgun in PA, requires an FFL and BATF Form to get a background check/transfer done. Sure, you can sell a handgun privately, but if you get caught, enjoy the orange jumpsuit.

“...PA already requires a check on private handgun sales?...”

Only if done legally. Buying a handgun privately is illegal and off-the books. But if you get caught, you’re in a world-of-hurt.

[RandallFlagg]

July 15, 2013 I think.

[CedarDave]

Buying a handgun privately is illegal and off-the books. But if you get caught, you’re in a world-of-hurt.

The proposed language in HB-8 would make it a misdemeanor.

Link to the bill language, very short:

HB-8 BACKGROUND CHECK FOR FIREARM SALES

[CedarDave]

A lot of the artsy-fartsy folks come from the east coast. Also, a lot of the young voters have been indoctrinated by 12 years or 16 years of liberal education so they now vote “progressive.” Then there are the chronically poor (lots of Native Americans and poorer Hispanics) and they vote Democrat for the welfare and medicare benefits; finally the latter vote for the name only (Hispanic name likely worth 10-15 points).

[MileHi]

Thanks

Fortunately some of our conservative sheriffs are on record saying they will not enforce unconstitutional laws

[Lean-Right]

I’m not surprised the loony left
legislators passed this. What I am
surprised about is they put the cart
before the horse and haven’t proposed
registration laws. Without registration,
this law is totally unenforceable. About
the only way to catch someone making a
private sale is the buyer or seller
would have to be undercover law
enforcement.And I personally have never
purchased a weapon from someone I
didn’t know,

[zeugma]

And I personally have never purchased a weapon from someone I didn’t know,

I would imagine the vast majority of private sales are to people you know. I've made a few 'off books' purchases myself, and that was the case for me. That's one reason these laws are so stupid. (there are others of course)
