The annual High Desert Gun Show, which serves as a major fundraising event for the High Desert Sportsmen’s Club, saw a steep decline in participating vendors this year over previous years, as well as lower overall attendance than last year. The event was held Saturday and Sunday at the Grant County Veterans Memorial Business and Conference Center. Thanks to last year’s passage of the “Firearm Sale Background Check” bill by the New Mexico Legislature, firearm sales between individuals or at gun shows require a federal instant background check be completed at the time of the transaction, closing the so-called gun show loophole in the state.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
