Nevada Governor Vetoes Bloomberg’s Bill
Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval has vetoed the bill pushed by Michael Bloomberg’s group, which I call Illegal Mayors Against Guns. SB221 was passed by the legislature, and as it awaited the Governor’s action, gun owners from around the country hammered his office with calls, asking him to turn down this “expanded background check” restriction on Second Amendment rights.
In his veto, the Governor said:
“The sections of SB 221 requiring mandatory background checks on private sales place an unreasonable burden on law-abiding citizens with the potential to make them criminals. It would be unenforceable by law enforcement. It is our opinion this bill would do little to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.”
He put a fine point to his comments with this:
“Senate Bill 221, while laudable in its efforts to strengthen reporting requirements concerning mentally ill persons, imposes unreasonable burdens and harsh penalties upon law-abiding Nevadans, while doing little to prevent criminals from unlawfully obtaining firearms.”
Here’s a huge ATTABOY to the entire Gun Talk Truth Squad. I know many of you called the Governor’s office. It clearly had an effect.
How do we win these battles? First, we have to show up.

This is good news. Dad lives in Reno and lobbied hard against this.
I made a few calls to that Bloomberg sponsored 800 number where you could vote for or against the background check bill.
