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.

Is Mel Gibson 'tooled up' on liberty as well as guns?

(Reposted from  http://www.examiner.com/x-1417-Gun-Rights-Examiner~y2010m1d27-Is-Mel-Gibson-tooled-up-on-liberty-as-well-as-guns ) January 27, 2010 7:32 AM Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea ) Edge of Darkness  star Mel Gibson has a gun. That's apparently a newsworthy tidbit for followers of celebrity tabloid gossipmongers.  Showbiz Spy's  Richard Head  tells readers  Gibson "has admitted he has a dangerous weapon hidden away in his home in case an intruder breaks in during the night and puts his family’s lives at risk." The 54-year-old actor insists there is nothing unusual about his outlook, as in modern society, times have changed to the extent where people need to be 'tooled up' with weapons to defend themselves, their loved-ones and their homes. True enough. There's nothing unusual about that and Gibson is correct--weapons are tools, and we owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to have them and know how to properly use them. It's hardly news though...

What is the National Rifle Association?

 Received via email:  To: ​ Hamlin, Douglas ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Mon 4/21/2025 8:51 AM To the National Rifle Association, What is the National Rifle Association? I've heard countless times it's "America's oldest civil rights group". Is that so? I've also heard it's a non profit corporation. It's definitely not making a profit now. I've been told, it's membership is 4million, 5mllion, even 6million members. Or is it less than 3million? The NRA was once a $300 to $400million non profit corporation. What do the books say now? Is the board even allowed to see the books? Or do they have the courage to ask? The most recent numbers I could find were revenues being about $176million, while expenditures were about $209million.

Just last year the NRA lost 14% o...

Open Letter to President Trump on Military Base Victim Disarmament

Shared via email by WarOnGuns Correspondent CDT : Dear President Trump: This past Thursday, there was a spree shooting at Fort Stewart, exacerbated by the fact that none of the servicemen in a position to control the shooter were armed. I won't waste any language further describing the attack, I'm confident you're aware of it. There have been seven other spree shootings with this same profile since 2009, all made possible by President Clinton's ban on soldiers carrying arms inside military bases (DOD Directive 5210.56). There is no place in the USA for victim disarmament policies, but *especially* not on military bases. Back in 2015, you volunteered this pledge to Fredy Riehl of AmmoLand.com: "As Commander-in-Chief, I would mandate that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases. President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed. They will be able to defend the...
