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.

I'm having a hard time being reassured by Sissy, when just a few sentences down we get:
Sara Diss, an activist with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, said the legislation signed on Friday is a good start, but she wants to see mandatory background checks implemented nationally.
Well apparently that doesn’t equal slippery slope.
Just more non extreme common sense. So, I guess common sense infringement is okay.
When I read about someone “fighting back tears,” I have to fight back vomit. Cry if you have to, don’t fight back those tears!
It is a BS term.
I just get my handkerchief out and blot the moisture from my cheeks!
“Commonsense gun control” is the same sort of OXYMORON as “jumbo shrimp, “IRS assistance”, “clean sewerage” & “friendly fire” are.
Trust NOTHING that any “Liberal” DIMocRAT extremist says, is my sincere advice.

Let’s see, women have a right to abortion and the government will pay for it....I have the right to own a gun but the government won’t buy one for me....and the governor doesn’t care if you kill your baby, but will regulate who can own a gum......sigh
Yep. It follows another trend.

In Massachusetts being a biped is the only "red flag" necessary to deny someone his/her 2nd Amendment rights.
... safe from THEM that is.
I posted a comment there too.
A few years ago a liberal made a very telling comment to a gun owning conservative on some radio show. He said (and this is verbatim):
“If you did to us what we do to you, we’d be shooting you by now.”
At least he was honest.
“they won’t come out and mass confiscate, but will confiscate on a per individual basis so that noone notices or forms a group of people strong enough to effectively resist-”
How does the community not notice when a bunch of gestapo pigs murder a family in the neighborhood? How do the murdering gestapo pigs avoid serious ventilation when the community decides to kill them?
Bob, go buy yourself an icecream cone and recalibrate your logic board.
“The IRS will be weaponized to seize/freeze assets (including home, vehicles, IRA, Social Security, Medicare, etc.) of those identified to possess semi-auto rifles of military caliber.”
Right...The IRS will crash the entire economy of the United States - and the world - because people won’t be able to pay their mortgages, pay bills, buy goods or run businesses. Banks will collapse. Tax collecting will cease. Entire industries will go under - farms, auto manufacturers, credit card companies, utilities. And everybody will be fine with that.
What a bunch of BS.
The real message here is that Nevada democrats finally found a way to make criminals obey gun laws..............

What a bunch of BS.
And alternatively when said owner of the semi-auto firearm finds all his funds locked. What's to prevent him from 'visiting' his local IRS office?

Well, I’ve been told by some FReepers that the fat, low-IQ, affirmative action jellyfish at the IRS will grow fangs and muscles and magically transform into 10-foot-tall Rambos. So you better stay away.
A more reasonable strategy is to tell the gimmedats that every IRS office has millions of dollars in cash stashed away in desks. That way you don’t need to “visit” the local IRS office.
The liar just made Nevada less safe.
The Democrat Thug Party is corrupt
POTUS Trump wouldn’t allow that; 0bummer’d be fine with it. And so would his commie/socialist/marxist/leftist/anarchist/racist commrades, as long as they kknew it was coming, and could get their assets into a safe place.
[[How does the community not notice when a bunch of gestapo pigs murder a family in the neighborhood?]]
I’m sorry- guess i must have missed the masses of families being murdered because they owuldn’t give up their guns lately-
[[recalibrate your logic board.]]
Yeah, alrighty then-
