On matters of public safety, state law is not always one-size-fits-all (barf alert)

When it comes to maintaining gun safety, the smaller communities of Nevada simply aren’t playing the same game as Las Vegas.

That’s not to knock the rural areas. It’s simply a statement of fact.

With 42 million-plus visitors coming to Southern Nevada annually, it’s to the credit of Clark County commissioners that they’re already talking about enhancing gun safety measures for the Las Vegas Strip.

That conversation is a bit speculative at this point, due to a state law that prevents local governments from passing gun measures any stricter than those in Nevada statutes.

But with the Legislature considering a bill that would eliminate that terrible law, it’s perfectly fine for commissioners to already be discussing local policy that would protect the millions of visitors who visit the Strip and tens of thousands of Las Vegas residents who work there.

What a LIBTARD paper!

Is gun crime a big thing on the Strip?

The less virtuous a people, the greater the need for laws.

Once the country made the switch from mostly God respecting to mostly atheist/agnostic, the die was cast. We will need more and more control of the citizenry via laws as more and more people become a law unto themselves - when they can get away with it.

“When it comes to maintaining gun safety, the smaller communities of Nevada simply aren’t playing the same game as Las Vegas.”

And that’s a good thing. Up in Douglas County, where we just bought a second home, people routinely “carry” and no one bats an eyebrow! But the people there ARE concerned about Clark County, with its majority-holding population, ruining the rest of the state with its Liberal Bull$hit laws.

One of my co-workers "escaped" CA and purchased a new home in North Las Vegas. He and his wife immediately took advantage of the better gun laws in NV. It seems the "better" condition is slipping away. Big city liberals at work. He's not real happy at the change. I opted for Idaho in 2000 and haven't regretted the choice. Not quite as good from a tax perspective, but more conservative overall.
