Sorry Wayne, but I would venture to say that ANY elected official from Nevada could have worked to get the facility opened.
The NRA continually bombards lifetime members with phone calls looking for money.
I have begged and pleaded with them, on the phone and by mail, to leave my 90 year old lifetime-member father alone, but they ignore me and continue to call, at least twice per week.
No way will I ever join the NRA. LaPierre and Reid deserve each other.
