A New Mexico sheriff is investigating a group of gun control advocates over concerns that their efforts to buy back and destroy firearms were unlawful.
San Juan County Sheriff Shane Ferrari announced in a Dec. 17 Facebook post that his office would investigate the group New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence (NMPGV) over a recent gun buyback event. The sheriff said the buyback event may have violated a state gun control law that prohibits firearms transfers without a background check.
