New Mexico In The Crosshairs

[prepare]

Sheriff Mace said flat out that the legislation and the red flag laws were not about safety. He didn’t expand on that and Cam didn’t ask him too. I wish more people who are viewed as normal, sensible, credible people would speak up and speak out about what it’s really about. Gun control is about control. Unfortunately most people that say that are marginalized and discounted as tin foil, conspiracy, wacko, nut jobs.

Keep in mind Tony Mace is only one Sheriff here of the same mindset...there are 29 others. Santa Fe can pass all the gun laws they want, but without compliance and enforcement, you have nothing but worthless paper. Kind of like anti-sodomy laws that are still on the books in some southern States. People just ignore them, probably as much or more as they do speed limits on the highways in the great wide open of rural New Mexico.

Off topic, but how are heath care options in your local as far a quality doctors including specialists? Are they close by or would you have to travel a good ways?

They obviously changed up their strat. 50 regional victories = 1 big national victory. (Not that they won’t seize the opportunity for a national gun ban if they gain total power in DC, they will)

Honestly it’s looking like the only way to stop much of this is for SCOTUS to expound upon the “firearms in common use are protected” part of the Heller decision and outright prohibit localities from banning any semi-auto firearm and the common OEM magazines that go with them.

They have still done well at the federal level considering

"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

is ignored.
