SB 279 seeks to regulate and prohibit the possession of a wide range of semiautomatic firearms commonly used by law-abiding citizens for recreation, hunting, self-defense, and competitive shooting.

Law-abiding New Mexicans who currently possess firearms covered by the bill would be required to register the firearms with the state no later than January 1, 2026. Gun owners would be required to keep on their person a notarized certification of that registration anytime they travel outside their own proerty. Licensed firearm dealers will have to mark firearms, maintain records of certifications, and make these available for law enforcement inspection.

Starting January 1, 2026, possession of these firearms would be prohibited, with limited exceptions. This legislation threatens to criminalize responsible gun owners and undermine constitutional rights.
