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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
