The new Nevada gun law is unenforceable

The FBI and State Attorney General have determined that the universal background check pushed into law through referendum by Bloombergs' gun control group, "Every Town For Gun Safety" is unenforceable. What an embarrassment for Bloomberg: Miillions of dollars spent to sell the referendum and it won't work.

    Bloom berg spent $19 million to get the ballot initiative passed.
    Where does that money go, exactly?

    The FBI wouldn't do it in NY for ammo and they will not do it in Cali for ammo.... Those will end up being unenforceable as well. One would think that the libs would learn eventually.

    Weigh in on this Glen. It's looks like a waste of $19M. I feel his pain!
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    True, but not having it doesn't buy much at all.

    Bloomberg is no fool, as a DEMOCRAT he knows the next step after a law is unenforceable is to pass another unenforceable law. IE; a ban.

    I suppose that depends on whether NY and Cali have the poison pill in their law preventing state involvement in conducting background checks. Virginia is providing background checks for private sales now. The VSP has a table set up at gun shows now for voluntary backgrounds. I am not sure how many would actually use them but they are there.


    Typical libs and the law of unintended consequences. Remember when they rushed through the NY Safe act and forgot the exception for LE mag capacity? Libs tried to say "oh just ignore that part". Um nope you have to fix it through legal channels *.

    NY made private sales illegal. You must go through an FFL dealer so they can run a NICS check. However, dealers can only charge $10 for the service and I didn't know of any dealers willing to do it as they also have to maintain a separate bound book. It simply isn't worth the time and trouble to them. The ammo background check was passed as part of the Un-SAFE Act but is also a total failure as the FBI won't do it and the state doesn't have the money or resources to do it themselves.

    That 19,000,000 dollars ain't Bloomberg dollars. That's dollars raised by "Bloomberg supporters". Bloomberg didn't become a billionaire tossing millions around. He prefers to screw me using my money.
    The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

    You guys have got to stop reading those wacko blogs, even the conservative ones.

    The FBI did not say that the NV law was unenforceable. What they DID say was, "there is no federal statutory requirement that we run NICS checks on private transfers, so we aren't going to do it".

    States can pass any stupid legislation they want. At least 2 states have passed laws requiring future guns be "smart guns", even though that technology doesn't exist & is unlikely to ever exist. The gun grabbers don't care if legal requirements would stop the sale of guns in their states, THAT'S THE OBJECTIVE.

    It went to their media blitz, paying out of state petition signature collectors, and a few Sheriff's pockets mainly Clark County's Sheriff Joe Lombardo. Thanks to all the transplants from California into Clark County this law managed to pass by less than 1% here in Nevada.

    There is an group trying recall Joe Lombardo and I hope they succeed.

    It does bring some joy to my heart that they managed to waste their 19 million.

    S is gonna hit the F pretty soon if this stuff keeps up. [:)]
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    On a side note I've been paying 15 bucks with my CCW not requiring the NCIS check to have transfers done locally. Right after this passed they were interviewing a few FFl's here in the Reno area who were saying it would now run between 75 and 100 bucks for doing transfers, Blood sucking gougers!
