THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR SENDING EMAILS AND CALLING YOUR SENATORS. THANKS TO NM SENATORS WHO HELPED KILL HB 77. According to krqe.com, "Failing upon adjournment [of the 2013 legislative session] was a proposal to expand background checks of people buying firearms from private sellers at gun shows.

Email subject line:
Letter:	Please oppose House Bill 77. It will have no effect on reducing crime and will burden law abiding citizens with additional fees. Data shows that guns purchased at gun shows have almost never been used for criminal activity unless subsequently stolen or transferred to another party. Firearms transfer laws for gun shows will be subject to limited enforcement since individuals may step outside of the gun show area and complete a transfer without a background check. Security officers hired to work gun shows are there to observe and keep order, not likely to have the responsibility or time to enforce gun show transfer laws. Although the bill is pretty specific about the information to be provided by the courts to NICS and consistent with the questions that an individual must answer on Form 4473, my concern regarding this part of the bill is that the courts receive appropriate funding to establish a reporting and TIMELY appeal process. There are a many other problems with HB 77. For example, it contains no exemption for 03 FFL C&R holders, the bill's description of an antique or relic firearm is incorrect, the bill will require owners of valuable antiques to deface their property, HB 77 regulates private transactions between private citizens, the bill has no definition of "reasonable fee," HB 77 is an unfunded mandate, the bill provides no protection for the private individual selling the firearm and finally, all HB 77 does is send more paper to NCIS. Thank you for your time and consideration.
