New Mexico House Bill 402 is an “all-out assault on law-abiding gun owners” in the state. The bill is “one of the worst gun control bills filed in the entire country” as it “could essentially ban ALL semi-automatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine and ALL semi-automatic shotguns, unless they fit into one of the very narrow exemptions in this bill.“ At a critical juncture in the battle against New Mexico’s rabid anti-gun advocates, the state’s House Republican Caucus yesterday sent a letter to the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee coherently voicing opposition to HB 402. This committee is holding a public hearing on HB 402 tomorrow, February 21, at 1:30 PM in Santa Fe.

We here at netwmd.com created an action page which sends emails telling the entire membership of both the New Mexico House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee and the House Judiciary Committee (18 representatives) to oppose House Bill 402 with one mouse click. At the time of publishing this article, good citizens have sent 2718 emails using our page. Please use our page now to voice your opposition to HB 402 and send your emails.
