Nevadans Will Have An Opportunity To Vote To Close The "Gunshow Loophole"

[M14 Shooter]

Now... FUCK YOU.

Does your mommy know you use her iPhone to post things like this on the internet?

 

[Papageorgio]

I don't own a gun and never will, but I believe that we have the right to own a gun. The first post in this thread is full of lies and omissions. This by it is self is a reason that I hope this bill in Nevada doesn't pass.

If you can't be honest about the bill, then what else are you not being honest about.

Anti-gun loons can only argue form emotion, ignorance and/or dishonesty, and are happy to prove it each and every day.

The Background Check Initiative is a common-sense proposal that will close loopholes in Nevada law that make it all too easy for felons, domestic abusers, and the dangerously mentally ill to buy guns. We have the right to bear arms, but with rights come responsibilities. The Background Check Initiative will improve public safety in Nevada by requiring background checks for all gun sales, with reasonable exceptions for family, hunting, and self-defense.

Myth
Nevada already requires background checks for gun sales, so we don't need any new laws.

Fact
Under current law, background checks are only required for gun sales at licensed dealers. Millions of guns change hands each year between unlicensed buyers and sellers, including strangers who meet online or at gun shows -- no background check required, no questions asked. (Philip J. Cook & Jens Ludwig, Guns in America, 1996, available at http://safenevada.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Cook-Ludwig-Guns-in-America-1997.pdf)

Myth
Background checks don't work because criminals will break the law and get guns anyway.

Fact
In 2013 alone, background checks at licensed gun dealers in Nevada stopped 1,904 gun sales to prohibited people -- including 501 to felons and 374 to people convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors or subject to domestic violence protection orders. Closing loopholes in the background check law will make it even harder for criminals and other dangerous people to buy guns. (Everytown for Gun Safety analysis of FBI data, February 12, 2014.)

Nevadans For Background Checks

Hell no. It makes it a crime to loan a gun to a relative for a hunting trip. It makes it a crime for a soldier to leave his guns with an uncle while he is deployed. The law is a piece of shit pimped on the people of Nevada by a billionaire scumbag who thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread and who employs dozens of armed guards to protect his miserable ass.

Fuck him, and fuck you for being a brainless toad trying to push this crap down Nevadans throats.

If you loan a gun to a friend or relative that's unable to buy a gun legally that's later discovered to have been used in the commission of a crime, than you should be held both criminally and financially responsible. As a matter of fact, I strongly suspect there are already laws on the books for your brand of stupidity that will do just that.

That is ALREADY a law. Before you demonstrate your profound ignorance I suggest you actually LOOK at the laws that are already on the books.

Yes, it is already illegal to give or sell a firearm to a felon.

Thanks for making our point. More background checks are not only useless but they're a poll tax on our right of self protection.

Walked right into that one.

That, is pointless bs on your part.

No, it isn't. The BS is between your ears. There are ALREADY laws on the books that cover those situations. Try educating yourself before you make a fool of yourself yet again.

again....this is simply anti gun propaganda.......the guy in Charlotte who was shot by police had a domestic violence restraining order in his history and felony convictions...he got a gun from a burglar...who stole the gun......

The only reason they want background checks for private sales...is to get gun registration.......

 

[2aguy]

Looking forward to seeing what this thread looks like tomorrow when all the gun nuts show up...

I'm convinced that those who are against stricter gun laws are the same ones that support Trump....you can't fix stupid.

Okay bright one.....tell us how this stops a criminal from getting a gun....? And then tell us which new gun laws you like and want.....

In Georgia a background check is required at all gun shows when you buy a gun from any of the dealers.

They are required for all licensed gun dealers in every state.

 

[Blackrook]

As a Nevada voter I have already decided to vote against this initiative.

Nope. I'm voting no as are most of my friends that I'm aware of. This is a fraudulent ballot initiative that does nothing but weaken our gun rights and will result in absolutely no reduction in gun crime. It's just feel good legislation for bed wetters like yourself and it's being funded by out of state interests.

I don't support Trump and I don't support stricter gun laws. You really shouldn't be calling others stupid after making such assumptions.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

After having been to Nevada and lived in Nevada, gun control will not pass.

Actually, when they polled on it a couple of months ago 66% were in favor. My guess is that's because all they hear is "closing the loophole" and don't really know what they'd actually be voting for. A lot of opposition ads are running now to shoot it down, so it will be interesting to see what happens on Election Day.

All they have to do is show an Ad showing a guy getting arrested for handing his varmit rifle to his brother for a shot.
