Michelle Lujan-Grisham on Gun Control

	Michelle Lujan-Grisham on Gun Control

Prioritize common-sense reforms

Our Department of Health will conduct a thorough study of gun violence, but right now we will also take action where we know we must. I expect to sign a bill that will ban those convicted of assault from purchasing or possessing a gun, I expect strengthened background checks, and I expect tighter restrictions on safekeeping to ensure children do not have access to guns in the home. With common-sense reforms, we can build a state where people who should not have firearms, don't, simple as that. Source: 2019 State of the State address to New Mexico legislature , Jan 15, 2019

Strengthen background checks; ban assault weapons

Q: Support more restrictive Gun Control legislation? Restrict semi-automatic weapons?

Michelle Lujan-Grisham (D): Yes. Strengthen background checks, ban assault weapons & high-capacity magazines. Ban anyone convicted of domestic violence from buying guns.

Steve Pearce (R): No. "I don't think Gun Control legislation works." Restrictions would divert resources to "cataloguing & confiscating the guns of law-abiding citizens."
