These assholes in Santa Fe just won't quit. It bans nearly every design of semi-automatic firearm, bans nearly anything that can increase the rate of fire (bump stocks, binary triggers, etc.) includes a standard capacity magazine ban, and creates a registry. Love it.

True about it being written elsewhere. The 5 ladies who sponsored the bill don’t possess the intelligence needed to craft such a complex bill. They are the governors ‘chicas’ and blindly follow any thing the governor requests. It has been sitting in the Senate Finance committee for a while but they could bring it to the Senate floor at anytime.
While SB279 is in committee, House Bill 12 (HB 12), recently passed by the New Mexico Senate heads to the governors office for signature. This bill proposes significant amendments to the state’s “Extreme Risk Firearm Protection Order Act,” commonly known as the red flag law. A critical issue with HB 12 is its provision for the immediate confiscation of firearms upon the issuance of an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO), without affording the respondent a prior hearing.
The bill SB 279 died in committee as the legislative session adjourned at noon today. But given the incidents in Las Cruces last night, the governor is going to call a special session to bring it back up.
