A stripped-down proposal requiring background checks for gun show purchases – which Republican Gov. Susana Martinez said Monday she supports – is headed to a vote by the full House.

The original version of House Bill 77 also required background checks for private transactions other than at gun shows, but that has been removed by a House committee.
