We now have over 960 supporters of the Petition to make Washoe County a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary county, but need many, many more and now our rights are under assault in the State of NV Legislature. Sign petition here or pass it on
I was on the phone waiting to speak at the NV Judiciary Committee on AB 286 for 3 hours but didn't get to speak. The number on their website in support is just around 130, those in opposition almost 1200.
We need everyone to continue to go to the link below and voice your opposition to this horrible bill that will do nothing to curb gun violence but will put good law abiding citizens in danger of not being able to protect themselves.
You can also submit an Opinion here (Assembly Bill AB286)
Here are the points I was going to make, you can use any and all that you choose, put them into your own words.
===============
None of these laws stop violence.
They keep repeating the mantra that it will keep us safe, nothing could be further from the truth.
If Las Vegas wants to have that law then let LV pass an ordinance and leave the rest of the state ALONE, one size does not fit all and the legislators just can't seem to grasp that idea.
LEAVE US ALONE
The ONLY reason we have ghost guns is because of the infringement on our 2nd Amendment rights.
If they pass this, people will only get even more creative to be able to possess firearms.
The legislators need to uncouple this bill, it should be 2 bills, one to address ghost guns and one to address turning carrying a gun into an establishment into a criminal trespassing gross misdemeanor or eventually a Class D or E Felony.
Note: I'm not in favor of either
This bill is fraught with problems for those of us who have CCW or Open Carry.
If an establishment posts on their doors that prohibit guns, even if you leave it in your car, you could still be criminally trespassed, which they would have to illegally look into your car probably without a warrant according to the 4th Amendment.
Then they are adding that you can "surrender" your firearm at the establishment for "safe" keeping, that would be completely insane.
Criminals still won't care about the new law, it will primarily effect law abiding citizens just like the vast majority of these laws do.
If the "colonists" had laws like this, we wouldn't be a free country today.
This farce of a "plandemic" is one of the major causes of the uptick in violence.
The Gov., County Commissioners, and City Councils that have put such restrictions in place that were unconstitutional are to blame for the rise in crime because so many have lost their businesses or jobs.
This will ultimately be ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL by the courts so just remove it now.
Did I mention LEAVE US ALONE?
