mauserme Posted July 6, 2019 at 06:47 PM Share Posted July 6, 2019 at 06:47 PM From the Walmart thread. Shades of Illinois' Fix the FOID bill: WALMART SHUTS DOWN ALL GUN SALES IN NEW MEXICO AFTER STATE EXPANDS BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIREMENTS Big box retailer Walmart will no longer sell firearms in its New Mexico stores after a universal background check measure went into effect in the state on Monday, requiring federally registered firearms sellers to facilitate gun sales between private parties. Instead, the company opted to drop the federal licenses for its New Mexico locations altogether, preventing Walmart from selling guns within state lines. The New Mexico law, enacted in March after Democrats captured the reins of statewide government for the first time in eight years, expanded background check requirements for firearms sales to include transactions between private parties, a level of scrutiny that federal law does not require. To facilitate these sales, the new law mandates that federally licensed gun sellers such as Walmart, who are already required to conduct background checks by querying the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), assist private sellers by conducting background checks on their behalf. "As a general merchandise retailer and grocer, Walmart is not currently designed to conduct background checks for private-party transfers under New Mexico's new firearms law," Walmart's director of communications Tiffany Wilson told Newsweek in a written statement. "The company has decided to surrender its [licenses] and no longer sell firearms in our New Mexico stores." Wilson cited fears that the law would require Walmart employees "to handle and potentially store handguns and modern sporting rifles," which she said were firearms that the retailer "does not sell" and that employees are "not trained to handle." https://www.newsweek.com/walmart-new-mexico-gun-sales-1447768 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynn Posted July 6, 2019 at 07:42 PM Share Posted July 6, 2019 at 07:42 PM It's all part of the new plan to make it nearly impossible to legally purchase a firearms, Illinois is right behind NM! I wish that Walmart pushed ahead with a lawsuit vs just folding, but I understand firearms are not really their bread and butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domin8 Posted July 6, 2019 at 09:32 PM Share Posted July 6, 2019 at 09:32 PM 1) Guess where all those gun purchase records just went? NTC. We've already seen the ATF can't be trusted to not violate federal law regarding gun registration. After all, if there wasn't a gun registration database then none of the information in this article would be valid. https://legalbeagle.com/6022558-check-guns-history.html 2) Who are we to argue with the state that has more PhD's per capita than another state in the country? /sarcasm On a side note, Alien Gear Holsters wrote a fantastic article about this. It's the most informative article I've read on the subject. http://aliengearholsters.com/blog/atf-gun-serial-number-checks/ Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Power Posted July 7, 2019 at 08:18 PM Share Posted July 7, 2019 at 08:18 PM That's a big domino. I can't imagine I'd want to buy a gun at Walmart, but I picked up ammo there for a training earlier in the summer. If they're not selling guns, they might stop selling ammo as well.

Flynn Posted July 7, 2019 at 11:04 PM Share Posted July 7, 2019 at 11:04 PM Lots of Walmarts don't sell guns, but do sell ammo. Just wait for phase-two when these states mandate those that sell ammo also have an ATF license and also do private transfers, or else be barred from even selling ammo or even any gun accessories at all, it's not that far fetched, is it?

Euler Posted July 7, 2019 at 11:47 PM Share Posted July 7, 2019 at 11:47 PM A law requiring ammo sellers to be FFLs and do NICS checks for ammo sales isn't far-fetched, considering CA already mandates it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retailers are turning away customers because they cant log in or navigate the kludgy system.... To keep relevant, it is hard enough to buy ammo at Walmart without such additional restrictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
