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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
