 New Mexico Anti-Gun Group Likely Violated Law It Championed With Gun Buy-Back Stunt

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/
 

But their intentions were good.......lmao!

So, let me try and wrap my head around this....

• Some "group" goes door to door offering untraceable gift cards to "buy back" guns.
• They do no background checks and probably don't even check ID.
• They go to a murderer's house and he figures "oh, great way to get rid of this gun that was used to kill xyz", so he tosses his Lorcin 380 (semi-auto pistol) into the basket.
• The murderer gets a $250 gift card for the Lorcin 380 (or Hi-Point 9mm), and the gun is now completely untraceable.

You know what, good intentions aside, idiot people in groups like this one deserve to spend time in prison for aiding and abetting murderers and armed burglars.  Not to mention just being freaking stupid for paying $250 for a Lorcin .380.

Post your original source..

It was a gun cite.  But, this is the article I chose for verification.  And no, you are not going to hijack this thread with your deflection over sources.  The story is true and sound like some of the dumb **** you pull or support.

Like anyone else they should be charged.

He claims to own a shotgun he can't shoot accurately but does not exactly where it is in house.  This coming from a guy that supports safe storage laws.
