The New Mexico Legislature adjourned sine die at noon today. The following gun control measures were defeated this session, which was especially challenging with the Capitol closed to the public and committee hearings held via Zoom instead of in-person. NRA-ILA appreciates all of you who participated in these meetings to voice your concerns about these bills, and who contacted your lawmakers in opposition to them. Warning: we expect to see many of these again in future legislative sessions!
