The New Mexico Attorney General’s office has issued an advisory that gun buyback programs that take weapons out of circulation are legal affirming a stance by the organization New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence.
New Mexico District 51 Representative John Block since 2000, has paraded around the state and written on his propaganda blog asserting the gun buyback programs are illegal.
The organization New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence has been on the radar with negative attacks from New Mexico State Representative John Block. Mr. Block has proposed a 25% reduction on sale tax on the sale of a gun and ammunition for this legislative session. No reduction for the purchases of everyday citizens but relief for gun owners. He has attacked the organization and claimed their gun buyback program violates the law.
State Rep. John Block (R-Alamogordo) wrote to NMPVG, “Just so you understand, the passing of the firearm from one party (them) to another (you) = a TRANSFER!”
In a tit for tat in social media Rep Lord and Rep Block asserted that the group was violating the law.
