New Mexico law currently allows unrestricted gun sales to anyone, in person or online, no questions asked. This means that criminals and people who have no business owning firearms can easily get their hands on them.

The bills, introduced in both the Senate (SB48) and House (HB50) concurrently level the playing field by closing the loophole so that all sellers, not just licensed dealers, conduct criminal background checks.

SB48 is expected to be heard soon in SPAC, your committee, and I urge you to support it.
