TODAY, Monday, 29 January, New Mexico's House Judiciary Committee will hold public hearings on four U.S. Constitution 2nd Amendment-infringing bills. There is only one fact to consider regarding any detail of any proposed firearm bill in any state in the United States of America, and a single legal and moral principle underlying that fact.

America's Bill of Rights objectively and irrefutably specifies no INFRINGEMENT of the peoples' right to keep and bear arms, which by definition prevents every manner of obfuscation, obstruction, harm, and trespass -- from attempting to control manufacturing minutiae to ownership "permission" and registration to charging administrative fees to deferring an inalienable right until "the day after tomorrow."

Furthermore, despite what New Mexico's Constitution-betraying governor says about rights not being absolute, it is their absolutism that makes them rights . . . and inalienable.

The political representatives of the New Mexico citizenry have sworn to support the Constitution of the United States of America. Voting for any infringement of Americans' right to keep and bear arms is a violation of that oath.
