Are private gun sales regulated in New Mexico?

  1. Yes, all sales require a background check

  2. No, only sales from licensed dealers are regulated

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. No, private sales are not regulated

The correct answer is: Yes, all sales require a background check

In New Mexico, both private and licensed gun sales are regulated. However, private sales do not require a background check while sales from licensed dealers do. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it states that all sales require a background check, covering both private and licensed sales. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they either state that only licensed dealers are regulated, or that private sales are not regulated at all.
