Two Gun Control Ordinances Still Loom Ahead for September 21st Council Meeting
On Wednesday evening, thanks to all of your calls and emails, the Albuquerque City Council voted down Resolution R-20-68 on a 5-4 vote. This non-binding resolution would have urged the New Mexico Legislature to strip the firearms preemption clause from Article II, Section 6 (the Right to Keep and Bear Arms provision) of the State Constitution and put that revision to voters for approval. Without preemption, cities like Albuquerque would be able to pass whatever firearms restrictions they want — including gun bans, magazine limits, licensing and registration schemes and prohibitions on carrying firearms on your person or in your car. Thanks to all NRA members and concerned gun owners who registered their opposition to this dangerous measure!
Please be sure to thank Councilmembers Pena, Bassan, Borrego, Jones and Harris who voted AGAINST R-20-68; their contact information can be found below.
There are still two gun control ordinances pending on the City Council’s docket:
Ordinance O-19-82 mandates locked storage requirements for any firearms outside your immediate possession or control, with fines and/or jail time for violations. Requiring all firearms out of arm’s reach to be stored with a lock or in a locked container will render them useless in self-defense situations and most recreational or competitive shooting scenarios. New Mexico already has a child abuse/endangerment statute that gives law enforcement and district attorneys the tools to charge and prosecute parents or guardians in appropriate cases when their child gains unauthorized access to a firearm and commits a crime or injures himself or another. This ordinance is expected to be considered at the Council’s meeting on Monday, September 21, at 3:00 pm.
Ordinance O-19-83 bans firearms at any building owned or leased by the city for conducting business with the public, including city hall, city libraries, city community centers, city parks and recreation facilities. This would negate your right to carry and protect yourself in these taxpayer-owned buildings and facilities and nullify your state-issued concealed handgun license in countless locations. Criminals would ignore these newly-created gun-free zones that leave law-abiding citizens defenseless. This measure is expected to be considered at the Council’s meeting on Monday, September 21, at 3:00 pm.
Please contact each of the members of the Albuquerque City Council and let them know you OPPOSE O-19-82 & O-19-83.
