As Isthmus reported in 2004 ("Decidedly Dangerous, Easily Armed," 7/9/04), prospective gun buyers must fill out a form that asks, among other things, whether they "have ever been adjudicated mentally defective [or] committed to a mental institution." But if they lie on the form, they'll likely never be caught, because medical privacy laws keep this information under wraps.
A man committed to a federal psychiatric facility for threatening to shoot federal judges in 1998 told a federal judge Wednesday that he wants to move to Mexico and no longer wants to be a U.S. citizen. Benjamin Archuleta appeared in U.S. District Court to be sentenced for lying on an ATF background check form that he had never been adjudicated as mentally defective nor committed to a mental institution when he attempted to purchase a firearm in 2005.

WASHINGTON -- The House Wednesday passed what could become the first major federal gun control law in over a decade, spurred by the Virginia Tech campus killings and buttressed by National Rifle Association help. The bill, which was passed on a voice vote, would improve state reporting to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to stop gun purchases by people, including criminals and those adjudicated as mentally defective, who are prohibited from possessing firearms.
Federal firearms officials said Thursday they are investigating whether Cho Seung-Hui's mental health history should have prohibited him from purchasing the handguns used in the Virginia Tech slayings - including one from a Green Bay-based online gun shop. Federal law bars anyone who has been adjudicated by a judge to be "mentally defective" or committed to a mental institution from buying a gun. In December 2005, a judge found that Cho "presents an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness.
A man committed to a federal psychiatric facility for threatening to shoot federal judges in 1998 has been caught and charged with trying to purchase a firearm at a Salt Lake City pawn shop.

Do we really need even more guns? There is a bill (HB 136) that would allow concealed weapons just about anywhere, including schools, buses, state parks and any establishment that serves liquor. In addition, the bill allows people to carry multiple concealed weapons. (When one isn't enough!) Another bill (HB 140) proposes the removal of the requirement that a person take a refresher course every two years in order to carry a concealed weapon. I don't know about you, but I don't want untrained people with multiple concealed guns around me in a restaurant that serves drinks. If you don't believe these are in the best interest of New Mexico, please contact your legislators and tell them. While you're at it, ask them to ban extended magazines and assault weapons.
