A RALLY WILL BE STAGED WEDNESDAY AT THE STATE CAPITOL BY GUN SAFETY ADVOCATES. SANTA FE MAYOR DAVID COSS WILL JOIN THEM. THEY WANT TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE ON GOVERNOR MARTINEZ TO ADD A PROPOSAL TO HER LEGISLATIVE AGENDA REQUIRING CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR PRIVATE SELLERS AT GUN SHOWS.
AS IT STANDS NOW, FEDERAL LAW ONLY REQUIRES THOSE CHECKS FOR SUCH SALES BY LICENSED DEALERS.
