Looks like the only one that (I think) passed so far is HB 9 which holds an adult responsible for negligence if a child gets a hold of a gun and kills or wounds him/herself or someone else. Basically it's a round about way of getting gun owners to secure their firearms.
HB 100 The 14 day waiting period seems as if it's still being debated and may or may not survive.
SB 44 No guns within 100 ft of a polling place has passed the Senate and gone to the House.
SB 116 Age of 21 to buy a semi-auto has stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
SB 171 Banning the sale of semi-autos was tabled.

No one was going to comply with it any way.

I have been keeping up with the goingson in this year's Roundhouse session fairly closely. I have to say I am impressed with the depth of stupidity exhibited by the controlling party of the state. It's not just gun laws but everything they do. They are hell bound to pass a gun law the SCOTUS has already struck down and the (ahem) governor is talking about calling a special session if she doesn't get it.

i keep looking for updates everyday on HB 101(more than 10 rds and AWB), the hb 50 which mentioned 10 or more rds was not pursued further, but haven't seen any. it went to the judiciary committee but due to the final form not being available was postponed but i think i saw mentioned somewhere that it was being changed to 15 rds but i haven't seen the updated text.
I think it was tabled which means nothing will happen as the legislative session is almost over for the year.
I think in many of these cases all they are doing is playing to that part of their base. Keep claiming they want to do something and when it ultimately doesn't happen (that they know will never happen) they can then blame the opposition come election time......... It's a common political tactic used by both parties.

I am hoping that is true this time but some of these idiots will push to the very end.

While likely true, in the long game it want matter. For the sake of argument, assuming it becomes law, FFL’s want be selling them as new product, other retailers want ship to NM. the sole market will be illegal, so no advertising, no this, no that. Etc. Noncompliance of the citizenry simply delays the inevitable, which is compliance. Many people didn’t comply with the Hughes amendment at the time, now that number if very few, nearly everyone complies.
With any luck it either want pass or it will get struck down.

Even if the restrictions are not enacted this year, they will be back for consideration next year, and the year after that, ad nauseum. The anti-gun cabal will always be there- pushing, probing, organizing, ready to strike at any opportune time. As a resident of the formerly great state to the north, this is how the playbook of the past 10 years of infringement has progressed.

True, but if enough people and businesses leave the state will be forced to change it's policies. CA is loosing a lot of business and a lot of people every year now, we shall see if the feds will bail out CA again.

Nope, I agree with Sistema. Leaving places has clearly not worked. The more normal people that have left California the worse it has gotten. The only reasonable approach is to defend and retain control of 3/4 of the state legislatures, then convene a constitutional convention to impose the will on the rest.
Governor Newscum and the Democrats have made living in the People's Republic of California untenable in that State for normal people. Burn baby burn Forest service policies, sky high electricity and water rates, Ban on gas powered lawn mowers and Back-Up Generators. Ban on Gas powered Cars starting in 2035, Ban on Owner/Operator Semi-Truck haulers ( already in place). Ban on prosecuting criminals. Dictatorial powers claimed by the Governor because of the "pandemic". Passing bills that prescribe indoctrination of our children with CRT, acceptance of the "gay' lifestyle, and pushing of gender bending mutilation surgeries of our Children without their parents consent. Allowing tent city's filled with voluntarily homeless dirt bag druggies and relentless assaults on the second amendment have made life for the non-elites a living hell in this once great state.
Any normal family that practices a conservative or faith based lifestyle in California would be crazy to stay. It is too far gone to fix. The whole left coast of the US is this way along with the northeast coast. I agree with Jessie Kelley - abandon these communist Hell holes. I have taken his advice and relocated to No- Income tax Nevada. Electricity rates are 1/2 of what PGE is charging, and there are no progressively increasing tiers in Nevada Energy's rates. We can't hold all of California, but we welcome all Conservative thinking and voting refugees from the communist Hell Holes.

This is what I've been saying for the past decade. All of the people of the gun across America like to just bag on California gun laws where most of this stupidity started.
Anti-2A and anti-gun legislation is a Cancer and Cancer spreads. I don't care how free you think your state is today, this Cancer is coming for you and your guns, there
literally is nowhere to hide. Look at what's happening in Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico. The more Blue these states get, the more their freedom is being surgically removed. Time to get serious about fighting this, educating and giving as much money as you can afford to SAF, GOA, FPC, no matter what state you live in.
The future of our country, is literally hanging in the balance. Without the Second Amendment freedoms, all of the other Amendments are meaningless.

It appears to me to be deliberate vague and stupid to poison pill itself. "We tried to save you but the demon gun lobby....'
HB0050.PDF
As I read "ten or more rounds", restricted large capacity magazine is ten or more rounds. That implies unrestricted small capacity magazine is nine or less.
Also, my ten round strip devices for my C96 Mauser and the ten round strip devices holding the 7.62x39mm ammo I bought in stripper clips intended for an SKS rifle would be contraband too.
Exempted:
_ an attached tubular device that is designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition
_ a tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action firearm
_ non spring powered (such as the gravity feed magazine of certain models of Gatling Gun (an ATF listed curio or relic would be exempt)

You would think the Commie legislators proposing this nonsense would have at least chosen a number of rounds "in common use" in other magazine ban states like California, 10 rounds.
Out of all of the annoying ban by feature legislative ideas, banning by magazine capacity is definitely one of the stupidest things to go after. There tens of millions of greater than 10 round
magazines in America and they can ban all they want, but people will still have and will still acquire greater than 10 round magazines. They are banned here in California, yet almost every person
I know who owns guns owns standard capacity magazines, it's a losing restriction.
The same as banning guns by features like flash hiders, pistol grips and "shoulder things that go up". These banned features have zero effect on anything, other than firing up their opposition to do anything
and everything in their power to defeat their arbitrary and capricious restrictions.

Over 10 rnd mags have been banned in the People's Republic for over 20 years. And absolutely no-one has turned any in. Suck it up Newscum.

I read that during Freedom Week (Thank you Judge Benitez!), between 1 and 1.3MM standard capacity magazines entered the state!

Well, the NM legislature adjourned sine die yesterday at noon, and only one anti-gun bill passed. The so-called "Bennie's Bill" (HB9) that would criminalize gun owners if a juvenile gets ahold of their weapon. As originally proposed, taking your kid to the range or hunting would technically be a crime. It got watered down some, but is still bad law.
We did avoid any new firearm restriction laws, but it wasn't for trying. Our anti-freedom Governor threatened to call a special session to deal with gun control, but it now appears that was just empty bluster.
Elections matter, and all thinking New Mexicans need to remember those who want to step on your neck. Pretty much all of them have a "D" next to their name.

It was legal to buy them and own them for that one week. Don't get caught with them now by the CHP. They don't give a damn when you got them, or any temporary judicial relief. They only answer to dictator Newscum. Enjoy your political captivity. I have fought it all my adult life for the last 40 yrs. I've had enough, and want to live out the rest of my life in relative freedom. I don't consider my decision cowardice. After fighting the California B.S. all this time, and witnessing the ever increasing encroachments on freedom by them, I'm going to enjoy the air of freedom for awhile. Notwithstanding your opinion.

A patronizing and bigoted insult to all sane, moral and responsible teens who access and utilize firearms on a daily basis. Up here in CO, the current goal of cabal's screeching minions is increasing all age based restrictions to 21. The funny thing, is that the same proponents of the above ALSO generally support lowering the voting age to 16. Hypocrisy much?

Yep, I would tell the draft board where they can stick it. If an 18-21 yr. Old cannot have a gun as a civilian, that person shouldn't have to train with one in a military. I certainly wouldn't recommend a young person to enlist in the guard of such a liberal state.
