Both houses passed the bill and it's on it's way to the governor's desk. She will be grinning like a possum eating ripe persimmions when she signs this.
The Left has ran NM for 90yrs +.But like so many other desirable places in the US, it was already being infested by yellow bellied invaders from communist occupied states.
I've always found it odd that New Mexico is so different from her neighbors in the Southwest. Any idea what drives that?The Left has ran NM for 90yrs +.

US DoJ prison surveys found that nationwide 91% of firearms using offenders acquired the gun they carried or used from non-commercial sources (including drug dealers, fences, smugglers, burglary, theft, gang members, etc) presumably without waiting periods.
Poverty. Its one of the poorest of states that are dependent on Federal dollars.
As a kid growing up in NYC, I always dreamed about places like NM, WY, or CO where there were wide open spaces, little restrictions. and people and government with a different mind set regarding personal freedom.
So sad that all of those things are so rapidly disappearing.
Hey, I was a kid, I still believed in dreams.Shoot... look at Texas. If you were to believe the stereotype, everyone carries a gun, drives a pickup truck, and has at least 100 head of cattle in the back 40... but the reality of politics means the typically liberal metro areas dictate legislation and restrictions. Texas is big... but Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston dictate the political trend by virtue of population.
As of yesterday it was the only one but still 5 days to go in this session so who knows what else will get through. This is the most benign of any of them proposed this year.do you know what other gun bills made it through?
Actually since it's been a state except for the 8 years Gary Johnson was governor. He was a businessman, not a politician, and vetoed a ton of legislation that made it to his desk. Sometime after his administration was over he proposed that the state should legalize marijuana causing a huge negative outcry. Now it's legal and the government brags about how much tax revenue it brings in. Little Hobbs is in the top 5 sellers. Of course it's only a 5 mile drive from Texas.The Left has ran NM for 90yrs +.

HB137 is still alive, but on life support. With only 24 hours left in the session it could be passed, but hopefully not.anybody know where NM HB 137 is at?
I can't stand being in Santa Fe and especially Albuquerque. I did enjoy fishing the upper Pecos and Mora River for several years. Hearing gun shots in the Mora campground at night was a little unnerving though it was mostly likely someone shooting at a coon. Little rascals were a pain unless you kep you trash bag up high where they couldn't get to it.Sorry for your troubles. I always liked vacationing in NM. Mostly, in Santa Fe, fly fishing in the Pecos River. But like so many other desirable places in the US, it was already being infested by yellow bellied invaders from communist occupied states.
A downright shame.
anybody know where NM HB 137 is at?
There was nothing in today's paper. It's time for the noon news so I will listen to see if it's mentioned.
FL is the one party hellscape in which Republicans are just 1970s Southern Jim Crow Democrats. We are not the gunshine state by any means. Hell, we've had mandatory waiting periods since the early 90s. We're the only Southern and only Republican state in the nation to ban open carry and have a under 21 purchase ban.Shoot... look at Texas.

He also reneged on the promised he made to pardon Billy the kid.(Lew Wallace, NM Territorial Governor, Civil War hero, and author of "Ben Hur".)
