Gun Control Bills Will be Back in 2024

 

Today, the governor announced that she will push for gun control bills that failed in 2023 in the 2024 session by adding them to the "call" of the 30-day session. While this is no surprise, the governor has pushed for gun control bills in prior 30-day sessions, this would seemingly imply she is not planning on calling for a special session on gun control. Anti-gun lawmakers also indicated they may hear gun control bills during interim committee meetings. While legislators do not vote on bills during interim committee meetings, they use them to hear testimony and receive feedback on potential legislation before a session takes place. We will be carefully watching the interim committee schedules and will send updates as necessary. On May 20th at 10:00am in Albuquerque, NMSSA will be holding our annual membership meeting. I will be giving an update on the legislature, and members present will have the opportunity to ask questions and give feedback on our legislative efforts. You can register for the meeting at this link.

FBI Director Candidate Wray’s Adopting Language of Left on Guns Merits Further Scrutiny

Will Wray swear an oath to enforce “commonsense” gun legislation or to “support and defend the Constitution”? (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
