Are private gun sales regulated in New Mexico?

Yes, background checks required
No, background checks not required
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Yes, background checks required

Private gun sales in New Mexico are regulated and require background checks regardless of the type of firearm being sold. Options B, C, and D may seem viable choices because they all address the regulation of private gun sales, but they are incorrect because they specify certain types of firearms or no background checks at all. New Mexico law requires background checks for all private gun sales, regardless of the type of firearm being purchased. This is to ensure the safety and accountability of individuals purchasing firearms.
