Tomorrow March 8 at 9am, the Senate Tax, Business & Transportation committee will be hearing Senate Bill 318, legislation to massively expand penalties and legal liabilities for the firearm industry. This legislation is ripe for frivolous lawsuits and crippling legal fees to these highly regulated businesses. Click the “Take Action” button below to urge the committee members to oppose SB 318.
Senate Bill 318 expands the New Mexico Unfair Practices Act to include firearms, parts, and accessories, imposing severe penalties of $250,000 per violation and holding manufacturers, distributors, and online platforms jointly liable for actions by third parties. It allows private lawsuits without proof of harm, subjects out-of-state and online sellers to New Mexico laws, and grants sweeping authority to the Attorney General to pursue civil penalties. This overreach increases compliance costs, threatens lawful businesses with excessive litigation, and raises serious constitutional and interstate commerce concerns, all while doing little to address criminal misuse of firearms.
Again, use the "Take Action" button to contact the committee and if you are in the Santa Fe area, be sure to come support the Second Amendment at tomorrow's rally at The Roundhouse.
