Nevada Gun Control Initiative Challenged

Seal of NevadaAmmoland – by Dean Weingarten

Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)-
Nevada faces an initiative that would virtually ban all private sales of firearms and would require federal record-keeping of all sales and transfers.   The initiative is being promoted by a Michael Bloomberg funded group.   The group was required to turn in 101,667 valid signature by November 12 of this year, distributed among various counties.  The group claimed that they turned in 247,000.  The signatures have not yet been validated.

An organization of second amendment supporters is claiming that initiative proponents missed the deadline to turn in signatures to Storey County, and that they missed a requirement that all signatures be turned in on the same day.  From an AP story in kansas.com:  

Petitions were turned in Nov. 13 to the Storey County clerk, said Don Turner, head of the gun rights group. That means proponents not only missed the Nov. 12 deadline there, they also missed a requirement to submit documents to each of Nevada’s 17 county clerks on the same day, he said.

Turner said that they have not finished checking 10 counties in Northern Nevada, and they may find more irregularities.

Proponents claim to be confident that the initiative will be certified.   The next deadline of the certification process is on Thursday, 4 December, when the county clerks are required to have completed a sampling of signatures and report any problems.

    1. Hey, TranceAm, where’ve you been? Saw the first comment I’ve seen from you in a long time a couple days ago.

  1. “The initiative is being promoted by a Michael Bloomberg funded group.”

    Not the Bloominidiot brownnosing mayors, most of which turned out to be corrupt… well, exposed for it, anyway (ALL are corrupt, just not exposed for it, of course).

    That was an interesting little disaster.

    When is that bloated pig of a jew going to have some fatal medical condition.
