The law passed in 2019 called for background checks for private transfers of weapons.
The issue popped up last week, as a Townhall.com report spotlighted the New Mexico controversy. According to columnist Kerry Slone, the anti-gun group New Mexicans Against Gun Violence, known as NMPGV, came up with a plan to go door to door with the Farmington Police Department to offer residents gift cards in exchange for their guns. T
he cops backed out because they did not get City Council approval. But NMPGV went forward with the plan.Armed with $26,000 in gift cards, the group petitioned residents by offering $100 gift cards for long guns and pistols, $200 for semi-automatic pistols and rifles, or a $250 gift card for so-called “assault weapons.”Eventually, NMPGV acquired nine guns from residents.The problem was that in doing so, as Slone reported, the group violated a 2019 law that requires background checks for all private firearms sales. Such checks must be performed by federally licensed gun dealers.

It also reported they broke federal law:
This one is particularly fun. The rifle was taken in this condition to a local school with the receiver completely intact. It also appears that they’ve cut the barrel down, illegally making an SBR. Taking this weapon to a school is a state felony and making an unregistered and untaxed SBR is at least one more federal crime. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/new-m ... ce-system/
