Frequently Asked Questions

What is New Mexico's HB 129?

New Mexico's HB 129, also known as the Waiting Period Act, mandates a 7-day waiting period for all firearm purchases. It establishes a new criminal offense for selling a firearm before this period concludes and requires background checks to be completed.

What are the exceptions to New Mexico's 7-day firearm waiting period?

Exceptions to New Mexico's HB 129 waiting period include individuals who currently hold a concealed carry permit, active law enforcement officers, and firearm transfers occurring between immediate family members.

How did the District Court rule on the challenge to New Mexico's HB 129?

The District Court denied plaintiffs' request for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and preliminary injunction, ruling that firearm purchasing is 'commercial conduct' not protected by the Second Amendment and that HB 129 is 'presumptively lawful'.

What is the significance of the Bruen test in the HB 129 case?

The Bruen test requires firearm regulations to be consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation. Critics argue the District Court misapplied this test by deeming firearm purchases unprotected commercial conduct, rather than analyzing historical analogues.
