Tomorrow, 1/31, the House Judiciary Committee will hear HB127, the under-21 gun ban, and HB137, the semiautomatic firearm and magazine ban and registry. Under HB127, those under 21 would not be allowed to keep their currently owned semiautomatic fi****ms and would be forced to sell or destroy them. HB137 would be the most restrictive ban on guns anywhere in the country if it is passed, banning the sale both semiautomatic rifles, semiautomatic handguns, and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Current owners would be allowed to keep their guns and magazines under the bill, but they would be required them with the state. The meeting is scheduled for 1:30pm in Room 309 (zoom link). Here are pre-written emails to ask legislators to Oppose HB 127 and Oppose HB137.
Also tomorrow, 1/31, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hear SB69, the Senate version of a 14-day firearm waiting period. That meeting starts after the Senate afternoon floor session in Room 321 (zoom link).
Another version of a tax credits for gun safe purchases has been introduced. HB266 will be heard in the House Commerce and Economic Development Committee tomorrow, 1/31, scheduled for 1:30pm in Room 317 (zoom link)
SB5 was voted on by the full State Senate today. The bill would ban fi****ms, both open and concealed, at polling places and within 100 ft. of a polling place, unless the carrier of the firearm was doing other business by the polling place. An amendment was offered to exempt concealed carry permit holders, but it was rejected. The final vote was 26-16 with Senator Hemphill joining with Republicans to oppose the bill. The bill now heads to the House side.
HB144, which would create an "Office of Gun Violence Prevention" was passed on party lines by the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee this afternoon. We are certainly not opposed to collecting data on crimes in New Mexico, but the bill instead would give the governor another political weapon to use against lawful firearm ownership.
We update the recipients of the following pre-written emails as the bills move through committees, so please continue to use them to contact legislators. Oppose HB27, Oppose HB129, Oppose HB114, Oppose SB5, Oppose SB69, Oppose SB90, Oppose SB204, and Oppose SJR12.
