NRA eager to defeat Nevada gun initiative
By Sean Whaley, Las Vegas Review-Journal
CARSON CITY — The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action has launched an informational website to stop the “Californication” of Nevadans’ gun rights.
The www.votenoquestion1.com website “exposes the truth” about how a universal background check would criminalize the commonplace activities of many Nevada gun owners, the group announced Wednesday.
The background check measure will be on the Nov. 8 general election ballot. It was qualified through the initiative process and is before Nevada voters because the Legislature did not enact the measure in the 2015 session.
The measure would extend firearm background checks to private party sales and some transfers.
