Three gun measures advance in Roundhouse
A spokeswoman for Lujan Grisham, a Democrat who took office in January, said the governor supports all three bills and is hopeful the background check legislation will arrive at her desk soon so she can sign it into law.
“The governor is entirely confident that this common-sense gun legislation will withstand any potential legal scrutiny as they are entirely constitutional, despite what some critics may insist,” Lujan Grisham spokeswoman Nora Sackett said.
But this year could be different, since Democrats expanded their majority in the House in last year’s election and Lujan Grisham included gun control measures in her platform while running for governor.
