Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo vetoed two significant gun control bills, SB89 and AB245. SB89 proposed a 10-year prohibition on Second Amendment rights for non-violent misdemeanors involving a 'hate crime,' while AB245 sought to ban individuals under 21 from owning or possessing semi-automatic rifles or shotguns. The governor cited constitutional concerns and disproportionate punishment as reasons for his vetoes, highlighting the importance of checks and balances in the legislative process.
Nevada's AB245, recently passed and sent to the governor, proposes a ban on the purchase, ownership, and possession of semi-automatic rifles and shotguns. The bill also significantly alters safe storage laws, requiring firearms to be locked away from individuals under 21, with potential gross misdemeanor charges for violations. The speaker expresses concern over the bill's constitutionality and its impact on law-abiding citizens, particularly those aged 18-20, and highlights the lack of grandfathering language.
The Nevada State Assembly has passed Assembly Bill 245, a significant firearms ban that prohibits individuals under 21 from acquiring or possessing semi-automatic center-fired firearms. This legislation passed along party lines and faces further review in the Senate before potentially reaching the Governor's desk. The bill includes limited exceptions for law enforcement, military personnel, and specific shooting activities.
