New Mexico Legislature Debates Ban on Semi-Automatics and Magazines Over 10 Rounds
The New Mexico legislature is considering what appears to be an unconstitutional bill, SB17. The bill creates considerable red tape and record-keeping requirements for gun dealers. It also bans the sale of numerous common firearms by simply requiring that dealers be forbidden to process background checks for those firearms. New Mexico requires dealers to run background checks for nearly all firearm sales.
Excerpts of the bill from nmlegis.gov:
A. Beginning on July 1, 2026, a dealer shall not sell or transfer any of the following firearms, ammunition or devices to a person who is not licensed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 923, nor shall a dealer process a background check pursuant to Section 30-7-7.1 NMSA 1978 for the transfer of any of the following firearms, ammunition and devices between parties that are not licensed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 923;
(1) a detachable magazine that holds more than ten rounds of ammunition;…
(4) a gas-operated semiautomatic firearm that can accept a detachable magazine;
(5) a gas-operated semiautomatic firearm with a fixed magazine that holds more than ten rounds of ammunition;
