New Mexico's SB 17, passed by the Senate, introduces a significant gun ban targeting common semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, and specific calibers like .50 BMG. The bill imposes stringent new security and operational requirements on licensed firearms dealers, including enhanced surveillance, physical hardening, and extensive record-keeping. It also mandates background checks for previously private sales of banned items, effectively halting legal transfers to non-FFL holders, with limited exemptions.
