The bill proposes the repeal of the seven-day waiting period currently mandated for the sale of firearms in New Mexico. Specifically, it targets Section 30-7-7.3 of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA) 1978, which established this waiting period.
By enacting this legislation, the state legislature aims to eliminate the waiting period requirement, thereby allowing for immediate firearm purchases without the previous delay. This change reflects a shift in the state's approach to firearm sales and regulations.
