In New Mexico, who is prohibited from possessing a firearm?

Felons only
Felons and individuals convicted of domestic violence
Anyone under the age of 18
Non-residents of the state

The correct answer is: Felons and individuals convicted of domestic violence

In New Mexico, both felons and individuals convicted of domestic violence are prohibited from possessing a firearm. This is to ensure the safety of the general public and to prevent these individuals from potentially causing harm with a firearm. Option A is incorrect because it only mentions felons, whereas option B expands the prohibition to include individuals convicted of domestic violence. Option C is incorrect because there is no specific age restriction in New Mexico for firearm possession, but minors may still be subject to other laws regarding access to firearms. Option D is incorrect because residency in the state does not determine firearm possession, but rather the individual's criminal history.
