NMSSA Legislative Alert 2/28/23

 

Today, the Governor held a press conference to promote her anti-gun and anti-freedom agenda. But her displeasure at the tabling of SB171 yesterday was noticeable, so she is doubling down on pushing for her slate of anti-gun bills. As a result, two bills were scheduled late today for hearings tomorrow.First, HB9, the bill imposing criminal penalties on a gun owner if a third-party minor uses their gun to commit a crime or injure someone, will be heard in the Senate Finance Committee tomorrow. The meeting starts at 9:30am in Room 322 (Zoom Link). To provide written testimony to the committee, you can send it to: SFC.Zoom@nmlegis.govSecond, SB116, the bill banning the purchase or possession of semiautomatic firearms by anyone under 21 will be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow. The bill would force someone currently under 21 to sell or give away their semiautomatic firearms before the law goes into effect. The meeting starts at 1:30pm or 1/2 hour after the floor session concludes, whichever is later, in Room 321 (Zoom Link). To provide written testimony to the committee, you can send it to: SJC.Zoom@nmlegis.gov

I could not do that. The votes weren't here.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffI-tWh37UY Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke (September 12, 2019): "Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW1HPoqqB_8 "...David Muir asked O'Rourke: "Are you proposing taking away their guns?"

(Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing/YouTube) July 13, 2017 Attorney Christopher Wray, President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation, gave a response to a “gun control” question in Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that raises flags for right to keep and bear arms advocates.  Per The Daily Signal , Wray was being “pressed” by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. “on whether he would back universal background checks for gun buyers.” Wray tried to get around specifics at first, talking in general terms about “efforts to deal with gun violence” and how he “would want to take a look at any specific legislative proposal and get back to you once I have evaluated [it].” But Blumenthal, as committed an  enemy of the Second Amendment  as ever put one hand on a Bible, raised the other and proceeded to lie though his teeth, was intent on scoring poin
