Michael Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety is "bankrolling" a gun control initiative in Nevada that seeks to expand background checks for private firearm transfers, guns sold at gun shows, "or among friends and family."

In other words, Bloomberg is bankrolling Everytown which, in turn, is bankrolling a ballot initiative to make private gun sales without a background check illegal in Nevada.

This isn't surprising since they were here last legislative session and succeeded in getting a bill passed only to be vetoed by the Gov. There was no doubt they'd be back. This time pushing for an initiative to be on the ballot if and when they can obtain 101 thousand signatures from 4 distinct zones. Not sure if that means 100 thousand from the Vegas are and only a thousand from the other 3 or min 25k plus from each zone. Regardless, NV we need to be on our toes. The Sec State web site isn't very clear on this or I just couldn't find it.

So would you call easterners that interfere in other state elections carpetbaggers or torries? Chrisse Cristy and Bloomberg are both scumbags for interference with western elections.

United Socialists of America (USA) are criminals. Witness history. Witness current events.

A good counter to this could be done on Xeroxed 8.5”x11” white paper spread around the state. Just a picture of Bloomberg, with the caption: “New York billionaire says Nevadans should have their guns registered and confiscated, because they are too stupid to defend themselves.”

The leader of
Western Watersheds stopped the water to California’s Central Valley-—and stopped food production there on millions of acres.

The head of Western Watersheds is Robert Kennedy Jr.

If Bloomberg was 6 inches taller no one would ever have heard of him. He is eat up with short man disease.

ballot initiative to make private gun sales without a background check illegal in Nevada.

Such a law, once passed, will criminalize just about all gun owners over a short period of time. It will shortly develop that a "transfer" is deemed to occur when a weapon is brought into a house jointly occupied by a spouse or owned by a landlord. This is ultimately a Confiscation law.

From what I understand (questionable understanding!) is that if you wanted to “loan/rent” a gun to somebody to go hunting, or target shooting a check would be required for that “transfer” as well. Even if a resident. Of course the transfer of weapons amongst law breakers isn’t covered under this load of horse manure. No offense to horse manure intended.
