Outlawing private sales in NM

[Harleystoo]

Bloomberg's group is here in NM trying to push thru (in a Democrat state) a ban on private transfers without going thru an FFL. Loaning a friend a rifle would require two transfers: one to him, and then one back again.

But our liberal judges keep letting the violent criminals out of jail/prison without any time at all.

I've never understood NM politics.

Sandwiched between Arizona and Texas, one would think they would have similar views, but then just look at Colorado. Who would have thought they would go crazy.

Bloomberg knows he would be throwing his money away here.
Hope the good folks in NM can send him packing.

Ridiculous !!

That *** got it passed in Oregon and Washington so he is just moving state by state.

It was tried it in Nevada. It passed by about 1000 votes. Without alleged voter fraud in Clark County, it would have easily failed. Luckily, it was written so poorly that it could not be enforced, but the New York carpetbagger said, "I'll be back."

We got a similar law here in Wasington.
Hope you people don't fall for it.
Most here didn't know what they were voting for until it was too late.

In Washington it was passed as Initiative 594 (I-594) which took effect in December 2014. Bloomberg's groups combined their donations with millions form local software technology billionaires. I-594's promoters had 11 million dollars to spend. Often the same ad for I-594 repeated three times during one break during prime time television.

Those ads left out a lot of what is in I-594. If cartridges are available for them in commercial trade then I-594 requires antique firearms be transferred across an FFL's books the same as modern firearms. It put the same requirement on muzzle loaders that were made after 1897. Before I-594 passed FFLs only had to fill out a state form for modern handguns and only FFL sales of modern handguns were entered in the state's computer data base. I-594 requires the state form to also be filled out for long guns, antique cartridge guns and post-1897 muzzle loaders. In addition to formerly privates sales loans are supposed to be processed by an FFL. Now if my cousin loans me his 19th century Winchester and we follow the law it winds up in the state's computer data base. That is the goal of these new laws.

Yep...state by state...and the clueless people will vote for it.

Don't just tell us, tell the NM state legislature. Your personal representives, and all the members of the relevant Committee(s). By phone, email, fax, and in person.

Tell all your gun owning friends, neighbors, and co-workers.

Work together with your fellow members of New Mexico Gun Owner's Assn. If you don't already belong, join today.

sounds like lots of California is leaking out and into neighboring states, Colorado is a good example, he's doing the blue states first, I guess that's the smart money bet.

Trump should have built his wall on Oregon's southern border decades ago!

It's important that gun owners educate the general public. Gun shows, firearms training programs, letters to the editor, etc. And it is imperative that we participate in the electoral process, and legislative proceedings.

Thankfully, with constant vigilance Utah remains a Free State.

Good luck New Mexico, fight the good fight and get the carpetbaggers and their agenda thrown out

Free loaders

New Mexico is majority Democrat because most citizens (lots of Native-Am.) and illegals are on the government dole. They vote for free stuff first, principals last. The bill passed the first committee yesterday.

As to CO., they have been over-run by Cali's.

Like Texas, it is statutory law here that you can shoot thieves. But judges actually consider stealing a legitimate occupation, and if you shoot one - you'll go to prison.

Yea and WE (in Oregon) didn't get to vote on it - it was rammed through as an 'emergency' bill - which still has most of us in Oregon wondering exactly how this 'emergency' action takes place - considering there was no particular 'emergency' identified.

 

[GaryS]

They tried that in Maine the last election and lost. ME, although somewhat on the liberal side, has a long, long, pro 2A history. Open carry forever, shall issue, and now Constitutional Carry.

Lots of wasted money in that state.

Typically the same for Oregon but even IF it would have gone to a vote most predict it would have passed anyway. The scourge of liberal Californians that have basically taken over would have seen to that! Reality is it has REALLY affected things for a lot if us who are (were) ***bby' buyers, sellers and traders of guns. It's largely in part gone now. No more being able to meet up with someone for a FTF deal on something you might really want. I suspect however between friends and relatives the law is not being followed and there are still many who are simply unaware of it and have probably bought and sold with someone else as unknowing as themselves.

More and more states will adopt this because way too many gun owners support background checks.

It's a poor argument to support running a background check on a guy who responds to a local sales ad in the newspaper for a 1911 at Academy then turn around and not support a background check on a guy who responds to a local ad for a 1911 on Armslist. Or two tables at a gun show, one operated by a FFL versus a non FFL seller. Or or or....

IMO, the right approach is to fight for repeal the GCA of 1968 and do away with background checks, period. Until more gun owners reject the entire FFL system, the move toward universal background checks won't stop.

SOME do - not all. Mostly it's the way they draft these bills - the verbiage 'speaks' to the anti's specifically.
