Nevada Assembly Passes Sweeping Gun Ban With Little Time for Public Response
MSN / Survival World ^ | 4/29/2025 | Story by Lisa Greene

In a swift and controversial move, the Nevada State Assembly passed Assembly Bill 245 (AB245), a sweeping new gun control measure. According to the official bill overview (AB245 Reprint 1, adopted April 21, 2025), this legislation targets residents under the age of 21, making it illegal for them to possess, handle, or control semiautomatic shotguns and semiautomatic centerfire rifles. The bill passed along party lines with a 27–15 vote, signaling sharp political division over firearm rights in the state.

At its heart, AB245 bans most adults under 21 from owning certain types of firearms, even though these individuals are recognized as legal adults in almost every other part of American life. As outlined in the bill text, violations of the new law could result in a gross misdemeanor. Additional penalties apply to anyone who knowingly allows or aids someone under 21 to possess a banned firearm, with repeat offenses potentially escalating to a felony with prison time.

“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

As far as these people are concerned the fact that you own an M4 makes you a criminal

Republican Gov should veto this and the Dims do not have enough to overide.

“We aren’t coming for your guns...”

Just making them illegal to own and impossible to get.

It will be the “rank and file” who are well armed and obedient to their government masters who will enforce this.

If you can vote, you can shoot!
If people under 21 are so irresponsible, than they should be taken off the voting pools!

IF the USSC was not lawless and corrupt then these states would not be able to get away with this.

We split from LAs Vegas back in 1991. The gangs were totally out of control even then, and it has not improved one whit.

I see this as a swipe at the gangs in LAs Vegas/Reno. Not going to make a difference.

BTW - NV was Californicated many decades ago.
