Attention!!!! We need help Tuesday February 12th
We need everyone this tuesday!! The private party background check law is going to be forced through in complete secret!! I just got word from a very credible source. We have to all be in downtown Carson at the capitol building with signs and making our voice heard! I am not one that is into rallies but this is incredibly important! Tell everyone you know, bring friends and family! If this is forced through, you won't be able to give your gun to your family member. You won't be able to sell your firearm to anyone other than a FFL dealer. This is the first step in them turning us into California. Their first step in taking away our freedom and turn Nevada into a police state. I'm pleading with all of you. Please show up at the capital building this Tuesday morning.
Update from Lyon County Commissioner Ken Gray.
THE ANTI-SECOND AMENDMENT FORCES HAVE BEGUN THEIR WORK
It's very important to attend the hearing, call and email!
ALERT from Senator Settelmeyer
"The background check legislation that was declared unenforceable by then Attorney General Laxalt will be heard Tuesday at the Nevada legislature. It will be heard at a special joint meeting of the Senate and Assembly Judiciary committee at 8:00 am. If you want to be heard please show up and testify. In order to be heard I suggest not being repetitive and just say me to or ditto if your point has already been said, but get your name on the record. (sign in) The language has not been released and will not be available until Monday. Contact the members of Senate and Assembly Judiciary as well as the committee so your concerns are on the official record by email."
Explanation: Background checks are currently required for gun sales if they are from a dealer. This legislation could restrict you from giving a gun to a family member unless they have a background check and impose criminal penalties for doing so. Criminals already violate the gun laws. Only law abiding citizens will get background checks. As Professor John Lott's book says, More Guns, Less Crime.
HEARING: Tuesday,February 12, 8am, Be there early! Room in Carson City at the State Legislature not yet posted. It should also be teleconferenced to Las Vegas at the Grant Sawyer State Office Building, 555 E. Washington Ave. Watch online: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Calendar/A/
MESSAGE: Do not infringe on my right to keep and bear arms. Only law abiding citizens will follow a law requiring background checks not criminals. Do not impose background checks on law abiding citizens for private sales. When law abiding citizens have more guns there is less crime. (or write your own message)
