They were thousands of miles away from each other, but gun owners in Kentucky and New Mexico rallied at their respective state capitols on Friday in opposition to red flag legislation that’s been introduced in both states.
Dick Heller of DC v Heller fame was on hand to speak, as was Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie, who held what he called the “first assault rifle” as he addressed the crowd.
At the Roundhouse in Santa Fe, New Mexico, firearms were banned from portions of the capitol complex as hundreds of gun owners were on hand to voice their objections to the red flag legislation approved last week by a state Senate committee.
