Nevada: Gov. Sisolak Signs Anti-Gun Bill

Opinion

Nevada State Flag
Nevada State Flag

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.

Please stay tuned to www.nraila.org and your email inbox for further updates on issues affecting our Second Amendment rights in Nevada.

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 »

Forget the WELL REGULATED militia part. The 2nd Amendment applied to FREED SLAVES, which were never meant, nor considered, when it came to the concept of a militia, yet the FEAR by Southern Whites at the time, (and even today, quiet as its kept) was that if the slaves were freed that they would enjoy the same rights as their fellow white counterparts. This fact illustrates that the 2nd Amendment right was an individual right and not a RIGHT of the militia, aside from the fact that it doesn’t say RIGHT OF THE MILITIA, but right of the people. Additionally,… Read more »

The Revelator

@Sargewp No, States are also forbidden from regulating firearms under the Second Amendment. As it is a codified right under the Constitution, of which the standard was set at any level of infringement, being a pre-existing right that is held by the people as individuals. Since it is already expressly and exclusively given to the people, it is removed from the influence of the individual states. Furthermore, the Supremacy clause of the Constitution(Article 6, section 2) preempts all other law whether federal, state or local. That is why the constitution is called the supreme law of the land. The right… Read more »

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.

There have been a number of people who expressed anti-constitutionalist views, no question about that. One of the benefits of living in a free society is that it is uncomfortable from time to time. Moreso if you are an Originalist. That said, I’d rather put up with hearing from those I disagree with than live in an echo chamber. Legitimate discourse is one thing, trolling is entirely another. Some of the people here are truly ignorant of the history and intent behind our laws, other are paid agitators. One group may, possibly, be capable of change, the other has no… Read more »

Indeed. I have stated multiple times here on ammoland that I want to see nobody silenced.

I want to know who they are, I want them to be vocal if they have evil or unlawful intent so I can keep an eye on them. After they are known, then it is ok to take apart their argument via facts

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 »

Hey back at ya Bob G, When i made the “almost” observations I was thinking of this particular group of comments. You are correct that there are people on both sides who go to extremes, that’s how it works on all issues. For a long time most of my friends were either military, LE of one flavor or another, or some combination of those. I don’t remember calling for the death of anyone, much less police.

@Bob G It sounds like you are trying to blame others for a problem you yourself created. The Second Amendment, and more importantly the entire constitution clearly lay out how much of a role the government has. ZERO… Now if in the past you have received pushback, it is likely because you have tried to claim to be something you are not. For example, a Second Amendment supporter maybe. You have already made it quite clear that you do not support 2nd Amendment as written. This is interesting since you chose to bring up your former military and LE time.… Read more »

Sovereign People

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.

Martin

Absolutely correct. Until our leaders like the NRA, GOA, and the rest of the gun lobby understands this and uses it we will continue to loose ground. Their is a massive re-education that needs to take place in America. In the last 50 years we have been indoctrinated by the government indoctrination centers to believe this idea that government and the Constitution give us rights, if this is true the government owns us and is our decider. This point must be made and those making it must be made to defend their ownership of us mentality. Are we going to… Read more »

You got that right!

Bill

True. A right that a person does not defend is a right that the person does not have. When a politician takes away a right, and a person submits to that decision, the person never had a right, only permission. Since 2A exists to tell citizens that this in not a matter of permission from politicians, yet we treat it as if it is that, we are screwed.

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.

Jim Macklin

Nevada has a huge population of illegal aliens in Las Vegas and Reno. They vote despite not being citizens.
They can’t work in the casinos because Nevada still requires a background check for casino workers.
But hotels, motels, restaurant and public works, such as construction and highway work employ these illegals.
Remember, Hillary won the popular vote in Nevada because of the illegal voters. These people do not understand or appreciate the right t keep and bear arms because they never had that right.
But they give the government “cover” for unconstitutional gun control and confiscation bit by bit.

Juan m Flores

Very true to the content.. it takes a few generations to teach and give traditional values to those that are brought and integrated to the population In which they live in . We are the ONLY country that alloy anyone to join there country and let them carry and exploit the old customs of way of life instead of holding them to our ways of customs. It’s hard for any of our new generation to understand and keep to it because we have lost the bond that unite us as One Republic.

In Maine, even though the leftists won the last major election, we have defeated almost every single anti-gun bill they have tried to pass, so far! If you get vocal, organized, and fight them hard enough, you can stop their nonsense!

Jubelale

Gun control is about who controls the guns not removing them. Guns exist and will always exist. Do you trust your government? The main difference between conservatives and liberals is this fact – liberals fully trust the government to save the world and conservatives are sceptical because of past power grabs by leftist regimes. They are taking rights away people and the left is cheering it.

Steve Kortes

Ask a Venezuelan if gun control works for them.
China too. American Indians. Jews in Hitler’s Germany.
History proves evil tyrants and fools are all for gun control.

You left out the part where the gov says we have to be law abiding which translates to obedience to ones master therefore only those obedient slaves can have a gun though everything Hitler did was perfectly legal and the founders left the law abiding words out due to historical evidence that once Americans begin growing tired of tyrants laws they can rebel against them and still yet nothing. Everybody is hiding and being driven into submission due to pussified citizenry sporting rainbow flags.

I was not aware that Nevada was home to so many Bolsheviks. From the moronic leftist comments seen here it appears that the state is approaching New Jersey levels of stupidity. Sounds like a great place to start a Soviet Republic, just like in Illinois.

There really not bolsheviks, us natives call them Californians. And yes there coming to a town near you to get away from the illegal immigrants and the homeless. This state was so much better when the cowboys and mob ran it. Now corporate America runs it. And with Sisolak running it’s time to load up and go to a state that remembers the bill of rights

@MM Does the new agitprop mean to say that ge would strip the military of their small arms? Civilians, generally, do not have fully automatic small arms, so that can not be it.

WHY???!!?? There had not been ONE incidence of anyone using any “assault weapon” in any crime in the US since the days of Chicago gangs and Tommy guns in violin cases.

One was NOT used in the Parkland School, Sutherland Springs church, San Bernardino christmas party massacre, Aurura theatre murders, Newtown school, Orlando sodomist bar, or any other mass shooting in the US.

So why ban something that has not been used in a crime for a hundred years?

100% true. The Bill of Rights: are rights for which the government is never supposed to infringe upon citizens. Nevada’s legislation clearly violates the Second Amendment. Article VI establishes the United States Constitution as Supreme Law, over all other laws!

All these so called conservatives seem to forget that it was just recently that 50 people were gunned down in cold blood because of guns with Bumpstock attached. This bill makes it criminal to own guns with that attachment not guns themselves. So stop getting your pants ruffled.no one is trying to take your guns…calm down and breathe……..

Hey, that bill also makes it illegal for me to put a new trigger in my fire arms, the description is so broad it applies to a lot more than bump stocks.

Keeps guns out of people’s hands that shouldn’t have them. Really? ….. no it does not. What this bill does is limit what a non felon law abiding NV resident can do with their gun in their own home.

A gun with a bump stock did not kill and wound those people; a person did. A firearm is only a tool; nothing more or less and like any other tool it depends on how the person uses it.

They did not place limitations on how to do that.

The first semiautomatic multi shot firearm was patented in 1718. It was called the Puckle Gun!

Just like the first amendment says we should only have quill pens…

Fred

I didn’t see any terminology in the 2nd Amendment that would lead me to believe you. The founding fathers weren’t simple men, they knew firearm advancements would be made and flint lock rifles were in the American Revolutionary War which outclassed the musket (a good few were alive and one in office when the Ferry 1803 rifle came out). They even allowed civilian merchants to have cannons for self defense.

Batz12

Our forefathers did not grant rights, they assumed them, hence the term “rights.” While it is quite convenient to use the guns of their time type if argument, it is most certainly not the standard tgat correlates to their reasoning tgat among several others, the 2nd Amendment was explicitly mentioned as being one necessary to umderline within the Bill of Rights. Their reasoning was clearly, by simple extrapolation if their words, stemmed from a disapproval and distrust of governmental power over the people, and in the eyes of many of the cosigners, the people as a herd, over the individual… Read more »

And don’t forget that the Founders wanted us armed in order to repel invasions, also. All of the horrible weapons of war were the birthright of the American citizen, which is what they wrote in the Federalist Papers. And today, we should have tens of thousands of heavily armed Militia down at the border, repelling the invasion of Commie minded free loaders from around the world who are pouring in with the purpose of destroying our culture and commandeering the country we built. And just like they did in Europe, they will call us rascists if we disagree with them.… Read more »

By your logic your right to state this can only be written via quill and paper and sent to me by a man on a horse.

Joe Presgraves

Study your history, (no really, study your history!!!

Greg K

Our Founders would not have discouraged advancements in Arms to support the 2nd Amendment any more than the advancements of the internet to forward someone’s opinion secured by the 1st Amendment.

BTW Diane, at our founding there were repeating arms with magazines, and handguns (peperboxes) that were semiautomatic.

Mr. Bill

Your statement is simply false.
Cannon and warships, state of the art military weapon systems, were owned by wealthy individuals at the time of the ratification of the Bill of Rights.

Richard L

There were multiple fire weapons during and before that time. Educate your self, Fool.

Tionico

News flash, Diane Beatty: DURING the time of our War for Independence from Britain, there ixisted a certain model of rifle that could be loaded with up to forty rounds of lead ball, and then fire all forty of them in about a minute, one ball with each pull of the trigger. In other words, a semi automatic rifle with a forty round magazine. It was expensive because it was new technology and not yet in mass production. So LEARN your history and stop popping off when you only prove our ignorance. But, ignorance is no foul, and is curable.… Read more »

Heed the Call-up

Diane, please explain to us what the commissioned privateers used to attack British shipping? I don’t believe they used slingshots. I know they used cannons and many other weapons. Also, Jefferson gave the Lewis and Clark Expedition the Girandoni air rifle they used. It had a 20-round tube-magazine that was comparable in power to the muskets at that time. It was also used by the Austrian army for about 3 decades and used during the war with Napoleon. This proves you have no clue, and why we do not listen to drivel posted by those opposed to our inalienable rights,… Read more »

Wild Bill

@DB, Sorry Diane, but during the revolution against England, there were multi shot rifles and cannon. We have a natural, God given, Constitution enshrined Right to weapons of war. And many do own weapons of war. Here in Texas you can rent and train with crew served weapons, armor, artillery and warplanes.
And the shame, Diane, is on you for not knowing and spreading untruths.

Keep voting dems in office. You will be like California in no time. Next on the agenda paying a state in come tax, and then a santuary city. Wake up Nevada they are trying to destroy you

Free Helicopter Rides For Commies

The cancer of ‘Commiefornia voters’ is spreading. People need to wake up and realize that the sooner we get the helicopters up, the sooner we can let the commies drop.

Eric Johnston

The NRA can kiss my ass and I hope you all for from self inflicted gun shots. Assholes. And the forefathers wrote the 2nd Amendment for small fire guns not AR15s. So GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Ray

Get yourself a little education. You realize the AR-15 makes the same size hole in a piece of paper as a .22 LR squirrel hunting rifle. The AR-15 is not an automatic rifle. The AR-15 is not a cannon. The AR-15 is such a small caliber rifle that it doesnt even qualify as a deer hunting rifle in most states. Now go pick your picture of Maxine Waters back up and finish masturbating in your moms basement.

@Everyone…I wish everyone would do what Wild Bill and others do. Put a “@WhoEver” at the beginning of your comment so we don’t have to guess who you are responding to. That would make it much easier following the thread. Thanks “Everyone”.

@White_Collar, Yes, the AR-15 has been called a “poodle shooter”.

@Eric Johnston….How wrong you are about that, Mr. Johnston. Perhaps you should read the Federalists Papers, in which the Founders have elucidated further what their true intent of the 2A was all about. The Founders believed that WE THE PEOPLE should have in our possession as “Terrible” a weapon as could be borne against us by any Invaders, criminals, terrorrists, or our own government that went rogue and became tyrannical. They did not want us to be subservient to anyone when it came to the weapons of war, and that included the psychopaths who they knew could eventually control the… Read more »

@The HolyCrow, and that is precisely why the NFA should be repealed. We are not equal to the task should the military be called down upon us even though we have superior numbers. I have even heard that the US military is being indoctrinated with the concept that armed citizens are also the enemy.

Charles Moore

Another thing we can “thank” Obama for, via getting our effective military leaders replaced with socialist pansies.

Stop blaming it all on CA. New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, etc. are nowhere near CA and are just as bad. The Leftist cancer is everywhere.

Mr. Bill

There are two regions of the U.S. lost to a new “nation”. Pacific Dumbshitisan and Atlantic Dumbshitistan.
Loss of regions in the remaining United States such as Denver, Phoenix, and Las Vegas is the current danger.

USA

Denver is lost. Scratch it from the list.

I’m sick of people like you. Did you build this state??
What makes you think no one can come from another state? Everyone wants better. You don’t like it, then move to another Country.

Right but where do we stop since everyone is a commie to you?
Probably will need to drop them in the same spot for the fire so not a big mess left all over the country attracting flies. Perhaps toss em in Mt. Rainier.

The Constitutional right to bear is of equal footing to your Constitutional right to demonstrate yourself idiot through free speech.

I totally agree . I think his win Was suspicious anyway ..Laxalt was ahead until On Monday before the election on the front page of the LV paper was a.

It’s good to see all these people who want a recall. It’s a shame that they don’t have more sense of being proud Americans to suggest a recall of President Trump who is killing the morale and Economic Opportunity in this country. Sisolak signed a bill that was put through the Nevada legislature. It was debated. It was popular with the people in Nevada. And now a bunch of pretend sore losers want to recall the governor?

Mr. Bill

Still butthurt?

I’m ready, next thing you know they want to make
Vegas a Sanctuary City

Kalish

Uhhh he already is going to. He even said so during his campaign, which is why I didn’t vote for him

Nevada Mike

I highly doubt that sisolak said he was going to make Las Vegas a sanctuary City. Sanctuary cities are not Sanctuary cities because of the governors of the states those cities are in. Sanctuary cities are City’s that independently signed laws that enable they’re law enforcement to act without being controlled by immigration officials. Those cities chose to use taxpayer money to the benefit of their constituents instead of allowing ICE to steal the resources of local law enforcement without reimbursement by ICE.

Merril

NV Mike ..He certainly did say that ..

jean-marc evrard

Seems like a fair trade, save 1 hour labor at the jail, let a killer illegal go free, he wont kill anyone, sarc.

Wild Bill

@NMike, ICE does not control any cities’ law enforcement. ICE merely places a written legal document called a “Hold” in a prisoner’s file. Then when the city, county, or state is done with that person, ICE takes him into custody. No muss. No fuss.
Absent cooperation with ICE the person goes free to re-violate.

Charles Moore

“Cities,” NOT “City Is.” Duh. Don’t vote. (Or, at least, not vote the popular goal of the Democrat 12-vote ideal.)

TheHolyCrow

@Everyone…Now we know why they had that unresolved mass shooting at the concert. Unresolved because it has never been proven that the shooter was the only one, with multiple reports of other shooters, and a slew of other unresolved questions. The purpose was to pave the way for the TRAITORS in the Gov’t out there to implement more Constitution Killing legislation cloaked as “public safety”.

Thanks to Dingy Harry importing so much lefty Unions into Las Vegas so as to be able to block vote out Real Nevadans and replace them with Californicators. Nevada is now just Easy California

Obviously written by someone who doesn’t live in Nevada. In fact might not even be a real person. Seems to be a lot of nonsensical stuff going on in this thread by people who literally didn’t get educated in the United States.
