Not Pleased in NM

[biku324]

...governer or a dictator?

Governor, and she would not have won a second term but for her opponent being a TV weatherman with no other experience. Appalling.

I've said that for years. If I get angry at my neighbor, I'm not going to buy a new gun to shoot him.

I wrote to my legislators in Maryland about that concept and was told that they are concerned about safety and that all steps needed to be taken. They don't care.

If our elected representatives are all concerned about safety, when then are they going to take positive action on Distracted Drivers? Or any other “safety” concerns for which “all steps needed to be taken”……..
Y, this is not directed to you , just our mutually elected officials that pick and choose what “safety “ issue is more likely to help them stay elected……regardless if they do anything about them…..

The evil twin of that NM Governor, Katie Hobbs of AZ, just vetoed a new law; the 'Alien Invasion Act'. It would allow police to arrest illegal border crossers. It was passed by both houses of Congress.

 

[BC38]

Agreed. Two more years and she's out forever (term-limited).

Is this another executive order - a.k.a. legislation by fiat?
If so, ya' recon the courts will strike her down again?

 

[biku324]

Nope - HB 129, passed the House 37-34, passed the Senate 23-18. Gov. Grisham signed it yesterday.

I've never heard of SCOTUS cases on waiting periods - anyone out there know of one?

 

[upcountry]

The general feeling is Katie Hobbs will be gone next time around.
I don't see it happening in NM.

 

[biku324]

Ours is gone in '26.

 

[cmj8591]

So the governor just signed the bill into law but the bill came about through legislation? The Governor just didn't do a waiting period by fiat?

 

[biku324]

Nope. It's regular law.

Grisham has cranial rectal inversion. Major league fool.

She's passed junk that the vast majority of the county sheriffs told her they wouldn't enforce. Don

 

[Sistema1927]

Born to lead?

 

[biku324]

We survived Slimy Bill Richardson with less trouble.

 

[cmj8591]

Nope. It's regular law.

So like Massachusetts, your problem is bigger than just a nit wit governor.

 

[biku324]

Maybe. We'll see how the election comes out in November.

 

[stuartg74]

Agreed. Two more years and she's out forever (term-limited).

The next one will probably be worse than this one.

Probably Brian Colon (and you notice that I left off the accent mark).

There should be city law and country law. The liberals control all the cities so let them live by their own draconian ideals and ban guns while inviting in criminals and their lifestyles.
Rural people don't have the same values as city people and should not have to live under the same rules/restrictions.
Unfortunately the cities have such large populations that they easily outnumber rural voters and so you get what we have today: city rules for all.

As I have pointed out before, you can thank Earl Warren for that. Apparently an electoral college type system is OK at the Federal level, but not within a state. You must have one person, one vote. It will be a brave person who takes tha to SCOTUS. Think about it a little.

...and I thought it was just Nevada where a certain group has the bizarre habit of putting forward unelectable candidates.

 

[rwsmith]

Now those laws....

The legislature also increased 2nd degree murder and attempted 2nd degree murder penalties, requires incarceration of anyone committing a felony while on bond for another felony, and banned firearms from within 100 feet of a polling place during elections except by CHL holders, pollworkers, and LE.

These laws make sense as they don't punish responsible gun owners.

I was in law enforcement for 20 years. I live in Colorado (aka California east) where in October our Newsom puppett Gov started a 3-day wait. At least if you have a CCW permit there, its waived. No one is exempt here except LE. I can tell you if someone is intent on killing themselves or others with a LEGALLY purchased firearm, a "wait" isnt going to stop them, they will plan accordingly. These laws are nothing but a sloppy attempt to either 1. trip up sellers into making mistalkes on releasing/paperwork records the weapon, hence loosing ther licence. 2. Slowing down firearm transactions as a whole and 3. making it less convienient and generally more annoying for anyone who can legally purchase a firearm, and those who sell them, big or small who chances are aren't politically aligned with those who wrote the laws anyway.
