I emailed my State Rep today, feel free to copy it and use it.
NM State RepDear Mr. Madrid,
My name is CJ7365, I have made Southern New Mexico my home for the last 11 years, I rarely write to my law makers, unless something really is disturbing to me and the following 2 bills are disturbing.
I have read HB 166 and HB 193 a couple of times and find them disturbing.
HB 193 will get abused, this law will make it easier for law enforcement to petition for an extreme risk protection orders directly, even when no crime has been committed. This violation of due process order will allow law enforcement to search and seize weapons and trample our civil liberties.
HB 166 will make felons out of law-abiding gun hobbyists who assemble, design, or manufacture guns and components.
These laws go to the extreme without consideration of the law-abiding citizens of New Mexico.
I would like to hear your opinion on these 2 bills and how you are going to vote on them.
These 2 bills do NOT suppress crime, more gun laws equal more crime because only the law-abiding people obey them, just as No Gun Zone laws are a joke, who obeys them, law abiding citizens not the criminals.
I did not want to make this email really long so I kept it brief and to the point, please reach out to me if you want to hear any more of my opinion.
Sincerely,
CJ7365
