Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- Ignoring the constitutional rights of law-abiding Nevadans, on June 14th, Governor Steve Sisolak signed omnibus anti-gun Assembly Bill 291 into law. Your NRA would like to thank the many lawmakers who stood with our members and Second Amendment supporters at every step of the legislative process in opposition to AB 291.
Assembly Bill 291, introduced by Assemblywoman Sandra Jauregui (D-41), will:
- Create Red Flag/Pre-Crime Protective Orders that allow for the removal of a person’s constitutional rights not because a person has been convicted of a crime or adjudicated mentally ill, but instead on third party allegations. This bill lacks strong due process protections and contains low evidentiary standards that fall well below the norm for removing fundamental constitutional rights.
- Impose Mandatory Storage Requirements that will expand Nevada’s current law regulating firearm storage by imposing a one-size-fits-all government standard that requires firearms to be made unavailable for self-defense.
- Criminalize Certain Firearm Modifications: This bill is broader than existing federal regulations and would criminalize certain modifications on semi-automatic firearms. Violations of this section would result in felony penalties.

As a gun owner, I worry that if we don’t return to the well-regulated militias described in the 1792 Militia Act, eventually there will be an attack so horrific it will shock the conscience of the nation, and trigger a massive backlash that will result in draconian laws. One guy believing he would be a hero by triggering a race war his online buddies told him was coming talked into a CHarleston church and executed blacks, resulting in the instant banning of anything confederate by Walmart, Amazon and most retailers. The militia wasn’t “all the people”, but able-bodied, 18 to… Read more »
Actually, ‘Well Regulated’ means’ Well Disciplined.’ And, if you Google, ‘what the Founding Fathers said about the Second amendment, you will find quotes from them, as well as the colonies that first became states. It is a wealth of information. Every able- bodied man, the private citizen, usually 18 to 49, was in the Militia of that colony. They had private weapons, military grade. Some, with Kentucky long rifles were above military grade! They were NOT the Nat’l Gd or Army Reserves, that use federal money; the Nat’l Gd founded around 1917. If the Commies try to say the militia… Read more »
I don’t think I have ever read a post with this many snowflake, progressive, leftist commenting. If you want to be like Venezuela just move there, I’m sure they will be glad to relieve you of all your property, your freedoms, your food and health. You will not have to worry about guns because the populace can’t own them but the elites and police can shoot you any time they want to. Get real you sissyfied idiots. This is America and we have been the example for the rest of the world since we became a country.The way we had… Read more »
In my state is SOP for cops to place cones around liberals when more than 6 are present. More than 8 and they use that crime scene tape also.
Nullify the law !!! Always find those charged with violating these Bull shit gun laws not guilty..
I’ve been reading through the comments and I’ve noticed something. Prolly not news. Almost every person who wants to take away someones’ rights has been on the Left. Almost everyone who is filled with hate, and wants others killed or to die, is on the left. Almost everyone in this, and every other thread, who makes fun of people for the way THEY think the people speak is on the Left. I’m saying “almost” because I wasn’t keeping a scorecard. It’s good to see that Liberals are so liberal and tolerant in their views. It’s sad to see that none… Read more »
The second amendment does not give any one of us anything what-so-ever. The right (ability) to defend yourself, your loved ones and your belongings is inalienable, or God-given. Nobody, no law or nor any amendment can give that right to us, nor take it away, except by force. The second amendment is simply a guideline for the government to abide by, and a reminder to us all to keep the government in check. When government over-steps and comes after the guns, time to bump’em back – and we don’t need a bump-stock for that. Stock up.
NV Mike ..He certainly did say that ..
We need to kick fat head Sissylac back down the hill to Sac and kick all anti American left down with him. You anti American and anti constitutional fools need to go back to the dump you crawled from, Unicornifonia.
You made that bed now go back and lay in it and wait for the Sunami to wash you away like dog squeeze. Venezuela is the poster country for what not to do.
TRUMP 2020…dimwit Dems 0.
I think the majority of Nevada’s population finds little time to deal with gun rights issues. We always need more money other than more guns.
