Gun violence prevention remains an important issue for New Mexicans. In 2014, we need compromise to make responsible, commonsense gun laws the law in New Mexico.
Governor Martinez, I urge you to place gun violence prevention on the agenda for the 2014 legislative session so our legislators can pass commonsense gun laws, like background checks, for a safer New Mexico.
Why is this important?
In 2013, a bipartisan bill to close the 'gunshow loophole' in New Mexico died in the final minutes of the legislative session.
In 2014, we're ready to finish what we started. But, Governor Martinez must agree to place gun violence prevention on the agenda for the 2014 legislative session and legislators must start working on a bipartisan bill to fix our mental health record reporting system and approve background checks for firearms purchases.
