By signing this petition it’s showing we are against these bills and refuse to participate for the following reasons:
SB as written will force federal firearm licensee's (FFL's) to turn away citizens that would like to perform background checks covered under this bill for the following reasons:
1. SB8 is in conflict with Federal Law, if an FFL attempts to perform a background check on firearms as defined by SB8, they will have their license revoked due to abuse of the system. The state does not allow for the exemptions that Federal law provides for (ie antiques and black powder guns). SB8 does not exempt guns that are not "firearms" under federal law forcing FFL's to break the law.
2. The bill requires an affirmative "proceed" response to a NICS check and rules out a transfer based on a "delay" response. This is in conflict with Federal law. Many times, NICS checks come back as a "delay", which means that if the FFL does not receive a final determination from the NICS after 3 business days have elapsed, it is within the FFL's discretion whether to proceed or not"
3. Sales between two FFL's would require a background check
4. there is no immunity of liability for the FFL or the private seller in this bill.

The feedback from local FFLs proves these bills create impossible legal conflicts for our shops. I am drafting a direct letter to the committee members based on your input. Email your state representative today and demand they drop these mandates.

The momentum behind this petition is undeniable and shows that our industry is united against these harmful bills. Call your state representative today and demand they oppose both HB 8 and SB 8 immediately.

This bill stands against the interest of the law abiding gun owner and will do nothing to stop the criminal gun owners. It is also largely unenforceable.
No more gun laws.. Why doesn't my ccl work instead of a background check...it is much more through tham a background check.
I am an FFL dealer. Our federal laws are already adequate; Please do not vote for SB 8, and HB 8.
These kinds of actions by politicians are anti American I will fight for all the rights in the Constitution. Will NM?
I am the owner of Apex Tactical Resources Inc. I believe these bills are are violations of our constitutional rights.
I openly oppose this bill
Do not take our guns away!!

I oppose all gun bills being proposed. Reason being, according to democratic logic, there are currently hundreds of laws and regulations already in affect, and they are obviously stating that the current laws dont work. What makes them think that 2 or 5 or 10 or even 100 more regulations are going to keep guns out of criminals hands? The only people being oppresed by these laws/regulations/bills are the law abiding citizens. And I can guaruntee you that any more will not work. And also you ARE violating our second amendment rights! And we will fight for them and we WILL win! No laws can change our constitutional rights! And no "law maker" has any say so or any right to override our constitutional rights!
