Nevadans strongly support a ballot measure to expand background checks for firearms, according to a poll of 800 likely voters commissioned by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Question 1 would expand the background checks to private-party sales and transfers. It would require both parties involved to appear before a federally licensed firearms dealer, who would conduct a background check on the person receiving the firearm.
The measure is intended to close loopholes that allow felons, the mentally ill and those with a history of domestic abuse to obtain firearms.
The measure, which is on the Nov. 8 general election ballot, would become law as soon as it passes.

Are Nevadans that stupid that they would make private sales illegal?
Not all of us but probably too many IPOS bought into the promise of no more gun violence ever and no more domestic violence ever in NV if they just pass this simple preventative. At least that’s the way I overheard one of the petition drive signature gathering assclowns ‘splain it to mostly women.
Pro Q-1 forces——>$3 million
Anti Q-1 forces—<$50 thousand
You tell me.
Translated: government overreach will also involve dragooning private citizens and business owners into working for the ATF without compensation.
Isn't it amazing how many federal employees there are yet so-called solutions involve conscription?
A crapload of Californianoma cells have metastasized over there.
Anti Q-1 forces—<$50 thousand
You tell me.
Yeah, but think of it from the inside out. This is actually an opportunity to apply some pain to them. Every time you spend $50K, they have to spend $3MM. Their victory, if they win, is fragile and expensive to maintain. The legislature may not be able to fix it for three years (not sure legislators should EVER be able to overturn an initiative after ANY amount of time), but nothing stopping you from running a repeal initiative next election, and the one after that, and the one after that. How many times are they going to be able to spend $3MM against your $50K? How many times are they going to be willing to? Leftist anti-rights scum never view any issue as settled till they win; why should the people who're actually RIGHT on the issue?
What is an “IPOS”? It’s usually helpful to define an acronym somewhere early in its use...
Ignorant Piece Of S***. I used to work at a place where acronyms were a second language. :-)
Overturning a ballot question/initiative by using the court system seems to work okay in calibfornia. What do the people want? Who cares.
BS
Why yes, yes it is.
I probably don’t need to tell you, but all transfers mandated to go through an FFL is backdoor registration, which inevitably leads to confiscation.
What?!!! I’m shocked at this revelation. LOL! Since all this crap is contrary to the 2nd amendment-——ignore.
(Shrug)...Completely unenforceable as any law enforcement or legal scholar will tell you, since there is no “gun registration” there is no way to determine when or if a gun is sold privately without a background check (unless the buyer or seller is dumb enough to write a correctly dated receipt or pay by check.) Since the “Universal Background Check” Bill passed in Colorado there has not been one successful prosecution, NOT ONE, and by estimates less than 13% of private sellers bother to comply. It’s feel good legislation to make the “soccer moms” sleep better at night...
Go ahead and DO IT, Nevadans. You’ll add yet another state to my “TYRANNY STATE/NEVER VISIT” list. Currently: CA,CT,DC,HI,IL,MA,MD,NY,NJ,RI,OR,WA. DC isn’t currently a state, but the tyrants will eventually make it one.
There’s gun registration in CA, once they’re in the system on the initial purchase or transfer.
