New Mexico Legislature Debates Ban on Semi-Automatics and Magazines Over 10 Rounds - Ammoland.com
The New Mexico legislature is considering what appears to be an unconstitutional bill, SB17. The bill creates considerable red tape and record-keeping requirements for gun dealers. It also bans the sale of numerous common firearms by simply requiring that dealers be forbidden to process background checks for those firearms. New Mexico requires dealers to run background checks for nearly all firearm sales.
Excerpts of the bill from nmlegis.gov:
A. Beginning on July 1, 2026, a dealer shall not sell or transfer any of the following firearms, ammunition or devices to a person who is not licensed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 923, nor shall a dealer process a background check pursuant to Section 30-7-7.1 NMSA 1978 for the transfer of any of the following firearms, ammunition and devices between parties that are not licensed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 923;
(1) a detachable magazine that holds more than ten rounds of ammunition;…
(4) a gas-operated semiautomatic firearm that can accept a detachable magazine;
(5) a gas-operated semiautomatic firearm with a fixed magazine that holds more than ten rounds of ammunition;

Democrats Push Ammo Sales Ban while Courts Question Similar State Restrictions - Ammoland.com
Congressional Democrats have revived legislation that would effectively eliminate online ammunition sales nationwide, introducing the measure just weeks before federal courts prepare to reconsider constitutional challenges to similar state restrictions already facing judicial scrutiny.
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) unveiled the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act on January 20, 2026, alongside Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD). Filed as H.R. 7166, the legislation would mandate that federally licensed ammunition dealers verify photo identification in person for every internet purchase. The proposal, which resurrects earlier Everytown-backed measures from Watson Coleman, includes an additional surveillance component requiring vendors to report any sales exceeding 1,000 rounds within five consecutive days directly to the U.S. Attorney General.
“Public safety must come before convenience for an unregulated market,” Watson Coleman declared in her statement.“Americans send us to Washington because it is our job to protect them, not mourn them.”
The legislation arrives as federal courts wrestle with precisely these questions in Rhode v. Bonta, a nearly decade-long constitutional challenge to California’s ammunition background check system. The case, supported by the National Rifle Association and California Rifle & Pistol Association, attacks the Golden State’s first in the nation point-of-sale background check regime that voters approved through Proposition 63 in 2016.

Anti-gun Group 97Percent is Back, Now Led by Anti-gun Ex-cop - Ammoland.com
It appears the anti-gun nonprofit 97Percent has returned, although there have been massive internal changes and it is much less now than it used to be.
We haven’t heard much from them since they plagiarized photos of top female shooters to gaslight the public into believing they were not an anti-gun group.
97Percent’s one-time executive director, Elizabeth Troye—once a senior advisor to Vice President Mike Pence—has been scrubbed from the group’s website.
In her place is Christopher Carita, an ex-cop who just last year was denied a disability pension by Fort Lauderdale’s Police and Firefighter Pension Board by a 4-3 vote. Apparently, a majority of the board members didn’t believe Carita was suffering from PTSD, because his application did not meet the criteria for being “service connected, permanent and total.”
Carita’s takeover appears to be solely to increase support for his current work, which is holding classes on “red flag” laws, which he calls Extreme Risk Protection Orders, or ERPOs.
