Last week, Governor Lombardo vetoed two additional anti-gun bills that were passed by the legislature this session. NRA thanks Governor Lombardo for his continued commitment to protecting the Second Amendment rights of Nevada’s law abiding citizens!
As previously reported, Governor Lombardo recently vetoed Assembly Bill 245 and Senate Bill 89. The Governor has now also vetoed the following gun control legislation:
Assembly Bill 105 would have banned the possession of firearms within 100 feet of polling places with limited exceptions. This sweeping restriction infringes on the rights of law-abiding citizens and fails to include reasonable exemptions for carry permit holders simply exercising their rights. Second Amendment freedoms don’t end at government-drawn lines. Nevadans should not be criminalized for being near a polling place while legally carrying a firearm.
Senate Bill 156 would have required the appointment of Special Counsel for the Prevention of Gun Violence within the Office of the Attorney General. While proponents claim the purpose is to “develop data”, this position will only serve to advocate for gun control policies using tax-payer dollars.
