New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) is pushing a ban on AR-15s and other semiautomatic rifles in an upcoming 30-day legislative session in her state.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Santa Fe Reporter<\/em>\u00a0noted<\/a> Grisham wants to do what\u00a0Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) unsuccessfully attempted at the federal level. Heinrich, together with Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), put forward the Gas-Operated Semiautomatic Firearms Exclusion Act (GOSAFE), and it went nowhere.<\/p>\n Breitbart News\u00a0reported<\/a> the focus on the AR-15\u2019s gas operation came some 64 years after the gun was designed to use spent gas from a shell casing to reset the bolt group and ready the gun for the next round. The rifle is still just a semiautomatic, firing one round per trigger pull just like a Glock or Smith & Wesson handgun, but the gas from a spent shell casing replaces recoil in working the action.<\/p>\n Grisham believes New Mexico lawmakers will be more open to banning an entire category of firearms \u2014 by highlighting gas operation, etc. \u2014 than Heinrich and Kelly\u2019s federal colleagues were.<\/p>\n New Mexico Gov.

Because one thing I have that the senator doesn\u2019t have is I\u2019ve got a set of lawmakers that are more likely than not to have a fair debate about guns, gun violence, weapons of war, and keeping New Mexicans safe.\u201d<\/p>\n Grisham\u00a0made news<\/a> on September 8, 2923, for issuing an executive order to ban concealed or open carry in larger cities like Albuquerque. Her ban also prohibited licensed concealed carriers from having their guns for self-defense.<\/p>\n On September 13, 2023, Breitbart News\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that U.S. District Judge David\u00a0Herrera Urias granted a temporary injunction against Grisham\u2019s ban. So\u00a0Grisham\u00a0amended<\/a>\u00a0her ban on concealed and open carry, saying it applied only to carrying a gun in parks and playgrounds, and on\u00a0September 15, 2023, Urias allowed it to stand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For our fellow Shootists out there: New Mexico Governor Pushing Ban on AR-15s, Other Semiautomatics New Mexico Gov.
