THE MAJOR TOPIC AT THE LEGISLATURE IN SANTA FE ON THURSDAY HAD TO DO WITH GUN CONTROL. AND REPRESENTATIVE DEBBIE ARMSTRONG’S HOUSE BILL 87 PASSED IN THE HOUSE CONSUMER AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE THURSDAY NIGHT.
PEOPLE BOTH FOR AND AGAINST BACKGROUND CHECKS AND GUN CONTROL LINED UP NEARLY OUT THE DOOR TO VOICE CONCERNS. AND DEMOCRATS HAVE PROPOSED A NUMBER OF BILLS, MOSTLY DEALING WITH BACKGROUND CHECKS AT PRIVATE GUN SALES. THOSE AGAINST IT INCLUDE SOME SHERIFF’S IN NEW MEXICO, WHO SPOKE OUT AGAINST BACKGROUND CHECKS AT PRIVATE GUN SALES.
DEMOCRATS FAVOR MAKING SURE CRIMINALS CANNOT BUY GUNS WHILE REPUBLICANS ARE AGAINST WHAT THEY SAY IS VIOLATING PEOPLE’S RIGHTS.
