New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham had an extensive list of gun control measures she wanted lawmakers to adopt during this year’s 30-day budget session in Santa Fe, but most of her proposals ended up dying in committee rather than getting to her desk. Lujan Grisham was able to sign two watered-down gun bills; one imposing a seven-day waiting period on gun sales and another banning firearms around polling places, but the Democrat-controlled legislature specifically exempted concealed carry licensees from both of the new mandates.
