The 2023 New Mexico Legislative session has ended.

[Cletus]

Of the 11 anti-gun bills being pushed by the Left and our disgusting pile of Pelosi Governor, only one passed. The "assault weapons" ban (which included any semiauto long gun or handgun with a detachable magazine), the bill to limit magazine capacity, the 14 day waiting period to purchase firearms and a whole lot more were all defeated because New Mexicans across the state made their voices heard.

Only one bill passed and that was a stupid, totally useless gun storage requirement which made firearms owners criminally liable if a minor gained access to their gun and used it to harm or threaten someone.

Progressives only care that they took another small chip at the edge. Now they have a new tool to go after gun owners. Then they can say the locks were not adequate.

But no voter ID? Too bad that failed.

[RMNIXON]

With overall crime and gun purchases on the rise you think they would wake up that more gun control is a political loser at present.

If a parent puts a trigger lock on a pistol, and his delinquent/mentally ill kid gets the gun and uses it like a hammer to beat another kid to death with it, is the parent liable under this new law?

I don't think even the Legislature knows.

[DGUtley]

criminally liable?

[Cletus]

criminally liable?

Yes.

Here's the short version... "House Bill 9 by Re​p. Pamelya Herndon (D-ABQ) creates criminal liability for gun owners if a minor gains access to a firearm that was not securely stored and brandishes the gun (misdemeanor) or uses the firearm to injure himself or another (misdemeanor or felony, depending on the severity of the injury)."

Fortunately, that is the only one of the 11 anti-gun bills that passed.

When do the re-convene?
