We're here to confiscate your guns.

Gov. Steve Sisolak on Friday signed a multi-pronged gun control bill into law during an emotional ceremony in Las Vegas.
“This is going to go a long way towards keeping our community safer,” Sisolak told reporters. “It’s reasonable.”
Assembly Bill 291 bans bump stocks, which effectively convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic weapons. The devices were used during the Route 91 Harvest festival mass shooting to accelerate the gunfire that killed 58 people and wounded hundreds more.
Sisolak fought back tears on Friday when talking about the tragedy.
The act creates “red flag” laws to take guns from those deemed to be threatening to themselves or others. Not only does this work to prevent mass shootings, Sisolak said, but it also creates an opportunity to get people help during a time of crisis.

Cry for happy. Big bloomer check on the way.
You're conservative - you trigger and threaten me - hand over your guns.
You're a Christian, pro life woman - you trigger and threaten my existential view of reality - hand over your guns.
I feel safer already..
Nevada needs to separate itself from Clark County. Let it become its own state if it wants to.
Oh, Nevada. Isn’t that where 58 people were shot dead and the vaunted FBI did f*** all about it?
Stupid. Not one person ever thought that about Paddock until after he shot up the music fair. Not one.
And after all this time, NV Keystone Kops working with the FBI have never been able to find a motive.
It must be nice to have a job where you get to travel the world and never actually do anything.
Free Republic membership == red flag... Guaranteed...
the cops think they solve the crime by disarming the peaceful citizens, nice police-work. lol what a joke, its anarchy out there on the street an everyone knows it! crowded with illegals and gang members from california, ya, lets pass laws now.
exactly what needs to be done!
Vegas for all its attractions has been conquered by the invasion from LA (and as so many have noted here and elsewhere, the Californication refugees bring the sicko Californication political krap with them... almost whereever they go)
let Vegas go and the rest of Nevada will be just fine again!
--I have seen it asserted that this already has been known to happen in Britain--
The post below yours by faithhopecharity has it right. No one will pay any attention to this idiotic law, certainly not the criminals.
Probably gonna have to toss in Washoe pretty soon too.
Still trying to figure what that was all about.
Liberals will argue their right to feel safe overrides your rights.
Bumpstocks did not increase the accuracy of any wounding shots at the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay shooting incident. If anything, their use protected more people from harm.
It may have offered a convenient false narrative to explain the slaughter as the FBI shut down the investigation and falsified a public representation of events, but the numbers never added up, nor the weapons, personnel, motive, response, or adjacent high security issues not publicly addressed.
If anything, the event documents the incompetence of authority at the time. At best, it was a catalyst for Trump to begin fighting the Deep State. His resolve needs to double.
Signing this bill is a coward’s way to promote more tragedy.
Threatening to themselves and others will mean anyone with an opposing political opinion. That’s how RATs operate.
they can try and all it will do is get them shot
And that is exactly why the government wants the citizens to not have guns. They hope to be safe from the wrath to come.
Stupid. Not one person ever thought that about Paddock until after he shot up the music fair. Not one.
...
Yep. And if he didn’t have guns he could have rented a large truck and driven it through the crowd or built bombs.
