A failed Republican political candidate was sentenced to 80 years in federal prison for his convictions in a series of drive-by shootings at the homes of state and local lawmakers in Albuquerque in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
Every eleven minutes someone in the US is murdered by an assailant using a firearm. In an average year, 507 people die and 821 are wounded by guns in New Mexico, which has the 9th-highest rate of gun violence in the US. New Mexico firearm licenses in 2021: 122,968; 46.2% of adults have at least one gun at home. These Democrats in New Mexico were lucky that Pena missed, unlike the victims killed by the faux Christian Republican maniac Vance Luther Boelter in Minnesota this past June. Boelter had a hit list of 70 more victims.
