Currently, New Mexico law enforcement agencies have no way to take away guns from domestic violence perpetrators. Proposed legislation would enable our state court judges to protect victims of domestic violence by requiring relinquishment of all firearms owned by domestic violence offenders while they are under an order of protection. This would bring New Mexico into line with 27 other states that have similar laws .
