Last week the NM state legislature passed a group of gun control bills (yet to be acted on by the senate). Among them was a 'universal background check' bill funded by Bloomberg, and a 'red flag' bill. (They also passed a host of tax increases that will primarily effect low wage earners and the fixed income folks, but that's for another thread.)
The reaction was swift and predictable. 29 out of 33 counties passed 2nd amendment sanctuary resolutions, backed by the county sheriffs, that basically state that not one penny of taxpayer monies or one minute of the deputies time will be spent trying to enforce said laws. A 30th sheriff has come out in support but will 'leave it to the commissioners' to decide thus trying to make everyone happy by playing Pontius Pilate.
The new governor states that if the senate passes said bills she's going to sign them into law and 'make those sheriffs' enforce them. Really? How is that going to work governor?
The laws as passed are unenforceable but by golly those legislators are going to feel good about it...................until the next election.
