Glad to see they're making a stand but it's sad that people even need to appeal for basic rights.

Agreed, completely.

That's some really good news, it's too bad that no Pro2A orgs could explain that Sam reasoning for the rest of that heinous unconstitutional Bill.

Senate Bill 171. Sponsored by Senator Williams Soules (D-37), the initial legislation sought to ban the "manufacture, sale, barter, trade, gift, transfer or acquisition" of suppressors, "assault pistols", machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and virtually every type of hunting and self-defense ammunition.

New Mexico is another state that is "governed" by one large liberal metropolis
while 95+% of the state by area is conservative.

You missed your opportunity to use "dropped" appropriately.

That is the first time I've ever seen a reversal on an aspect of gun control legislation by the sponsor of the bill in direct response to gun industry testimony. Normally anti-gun bill sponsors are more interested in pushing their agenda than listening to input from "the other side". That's refreshing to hear.

My guess is they've seen all the other BS legislation that's been passed into law get dropped (LOL… I used it!) kicked in the courts and are FINALLY seeing the writing on the wall.


For now.
