“Gun owners can take simple steps to help prevent gun violence,” said Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Patrick Allen. “Storing firearms unloaded and secured, and storing ammunition in a separate location can greatly reduce the chance of gun violence.”
“Injuries and deaths due to firearms take a heavy toll on those affected as well as their communities, throughout New Mexico and the nation,” said Miranda Viscoli, Co-President for New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence. “Securing firearms is a proven strategy that reduces gun violence in all of our communities.”
