New Mexico: Anti-Gun Extremists Introduce Sweeping Gun Ban

As they have tried in the past, anti-gun radicals in the New Mexico Senate have introduced Senate Bill 279, the "GOSAFE Act," a near all-encompassing ban on commonly owned firearms. SB 279 has been referred to Senate Judiciary Committee, but has not been scheduled for hearing at this time. Start contacting your Senators TODAY and urge them to OPPOSE this unconstitutional bill by using the TAKE ACTION button below.

SB 279 among other provisions, applies to almost all “semiautomatic firearms,” as defined in the bill, being rifles, shotguns and pistols that law-abiding citizens commonly use for recreation, hunting, self defense and competitive shooting, and would regulate the import, sale, manufacture, transfer and receipt of such “firearms, devices or combination of parts”. Possession of such firearms, devices and combination of parts would be prohibited starting January 1, 2026 except as permitted in the bill. The bill also bans the new purchase or manufacture of magazines capable of holding over 10 rounds, and mandates the serialization of any currently possessed by New Mexico residents. 

It is critical that you contact your State Senators and urge them to OPPOSE SB 279 to prevent this unconstitutional bill from advancing!
