Bloomberg bucks driving Nevada's gun laws
elkodaily.com ^ | 3/29/2017 | Jim Wheeler and John Ellison

Next week we anticipate that Assembly Bill 291 will get pushed through the Legislature here in Carson City just like Senate Bill 143 was before it. We are concerned that our fellow Nevadans may not be familiar with the full story as to why we are slowing having our Second Amendment rights eroded.

New York City has had a major influence on gun policy in Nevada since 2014. That is when former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg began his long-term plan to greatly restrict every Nevadan’s ability to obtain a gun. Rather than addressing the problems in his own backyard where New York City has some of the strictest gun laws in the country and still has a large number of gun-related crimes, Bloomberg donated $12,400,000 from Oct. 28, 2014, to Oct. 16, 2016, into two groups operating in Nevada to limit our Second Amendment rights. Those groups, Everytown for Gun Safety and Nevadans for Background Checks, were the main proponents behind Question 1 from the 2016 Election – the Nevada Background Checks for Gun Purchase Initiative.

Sorry this is a little late. Wheeler is a good guy. Despite the anti-gun nutz screw up in their Question 1 legislation from 2016, the current left wing cabal is in charge and will push through the new restrictions. When the votes were counted in 2016 I looked at the results and the only county that actually passed the Question 1 initiative was Clark/lost vegas by just about the exact number in the oped. Weird huh? So, if these assclowns are in your state working to restrict your gun rights, be worried.

Already happened in Colorado. What’s in it for him?

As one of the comments said, he can do what he couldn’t do if he was president. And, it makes him “feel” better. Little pompous POS.

Never believe the MSM meme that the left hates guns. The fact is, the left LOVES guns. They just dont want YOU to have one.

Yes putting in a red flag provision. There seems to be a timeline issue. Not sure the bill can be modified at this time.

Numerous comments to the legislators on 291. No doubt it will make it with the current make up in the assembly, senate and the make up of the exec branch headed by Steve sissypants.

Jauregui said the bill would keep provisions banning bump stocks and lowering the legal blood-alcohol level allowed to handle a gun. She added that she is looking at “other fixes to improve gun safety in our communities,” including the red flag laws.

Maybe I'm missing something, but weren't bump stocks banned by ATF effective March 26, 2019?

And didn't drunk cowboys shooting up the town become socially unacceptable behavior shortly after The West Was Won in the 19th Century?

(Or are these just fig leaves to allow the gun grabbers cover themselves?)

-—yep-—the “drunk cowboys” don’t seem to be around but the gangbangers and the occasional race up Las Vegas boulevard by an enraged pimp contribute much to the Nevada homicide rate—

—last time I saw anything like a bump stock was two guys with an SKS doing the “stiff finger, hip hold” trick-—

-—yep—the only good thing about our legislature and gub is that the lack of organization has prevented them from doing any more damage than they already did—thanks be to the session limits-—

The headline is so unintelligible a sort of grandeur creeps into it.

Politico has an interactive map on the lopsided votes. (Takes a few seconds for the map to come up)

Sad to say, Washoe ain’t far off these days.
