I will let the data speak for itself. This is all available via the Secretary of State's website. My search was a very cursory one, but it speaks volumes.

​The $10,000 donations were made by Everytown for Gun Safety to legislators: Sandra Jauregui, Steve Yeager, Ozzie Fumo, Julia Ratti, and Nicole Cannizzaro. Jauregui, Fumo, and Ratti all have active proposals being rolled into AB 291, Jauregui "Kitchen Sink" zombie gun control bill.

Winning PAC received $5,000 of Everytown money to comingle with other donations I imagine, of which Marilyn Dondero Loop received $5,000 and Melanie Lyn Scheible received $10,000 (two $5k records are shown).

Elsewhere, mass donations that were certainly comingled and re-distributed with other donation sources and given to the candidates were:

$300,000 to Nevada State Democratic Party
$250,000 Nevada Families First

All Democrats dipped or benefited from party money.

Overall, $17,081,595.07 was spent from Everytown in direct campaign donations, alone, from 2014. In 2016, over the battle over Question 1, Everytown spent almost $20 million. That's $37 million of what can essentially be called Michael Bloomberg's money trying to buy gun control in a far western state. 

​AB 291 has been exempted from the deadline to pass out of committee. It should have died in committee today. As they have done this entire year, the Democrat-led legislators have changed the rules to do what they want. Unable to win honestly, the hoplopaths in Carson City have to cheat. See this news article from the Nevada Independent.
 
The good news is that the proposed changes to remove state firearm regulation preemption at the county level is supposedly being rescinded. We expect SB 120’s “red flag” gun confiscation language to be added in along with the vague gun storage requirements from AB 153.
 
Sandra Jauregui, sponsor of the awful bill, credited Everytown with telling her to let the preemption part go…because it is more important to drop the limit to carry while drinking by .02 BAC and to ban bump fire stocks that President Trump already banned. Jauregui has no decency waving the bloody shirt of the October 1 Mandalay Bay massacre to enact gun control which has little to do with the tragedy and would have done nothing to stop it. If you’re looking for a scumbag politician, it’s her.
 
It appears that the NSSF may have had something to do with threatening to pull SHOT Show out of Las Vegas. If so, thank you, NSSF! What's more, the casino worker unions opposed the bill due to the threat to the convention traffic that SHOT brings. Imagine that; the unions who keep the Dems in power opposing gun control! In Nevada, money talks.
 
The comments in the above article tell us that clearly, Everytown lobbyists have bought and paid for the Democrat votes and are pulling the strings on gun control. Even Metro’s lobbyist is leery about giving the county commission power to enact whatever gun laws they see fit.
 
However, the final shape of the bill remains to be seen. “Red flag” confiscation orders are ripe for abuse and throw due process out the window. The vague storage language is just that; too vague and likely unconstitutionally so.
 
Every advancement of this bill has been an affront to the legislative process. We must continue to fight AB 291. The fight is not up until it is signed by the governor or it dies in the senate on June 3.

​Keep the pressure up! The anti-gunners are worried that AB 291, the preemption repeal bill, will die in the Senate Judiciary Committee Friday, May 17.

Update: We have learned that the push back against adding the "red flag" provisions into the bill are coming from the ACLU, who will likely file suit against those provisions. The good news is there is a push to remove the repeal of preemption from the bill (but unknown if it would apply to amending NRS 202.2673, concealed firearms in public buildings). ​

From the NVFAC: "AB 291, the so called "October 1"  bill, is a composition of several subjects including banning bump stocks, lowering blood alcohol limits to possess firearms, outlawing trigger modifications, banning firearms in public buildings and allowing counties to make their own gun laws more restrictive than current state laws."

The leftist Nevada Current posted an article of handwringing that included interested tidbits like the fact that Everytown employs nine paid lobbyists in Carson City. (And yet we’re told that Bloomberg and big gun control isn’t trying to buy Nevada?)
 
The Nevada Firearms Coalition warned that anti-gunners were scheming to get the dead SB 120, “red flag” gun confiscation, added into the bill. It’s unknown if this is an attempt to “sweeten” the bill to make it easier to pass or another one of this session’s games to cram as much gun control in Jauregui’s Kitchen Sink gun control bill.
 
So email and vote online tonight and call the offices tomorrow morning. Make sure this thing doesn’t get a surprise hearing Friday afternoon.
 
You don’t overturn 30 years of civil rights protections because Sisolak couldn’t virtue signal and ban bump fire stocks after the Mandalay Bay massacre.
 
And to the point of “we need to make the Strip” safer, you don’t do that by banning lawfully carried firearms. You won’t make New Year’s Eve or any other time safer by disarming concealed carriers or any other gun control law. Civil rights don’t disappear on holidays and no one should be an unarmed target for violence because the casino industry and the powers that be are anti-gun.
 
Nevada’s laws are fine. Leave them alone; or at least have the balls to man up and ban all guns altogether and come take them. 

Story here.

Former California Attorney General, now senator, and presidential hopeful. She was the anointed one before Joe Biden threw his hat in the ring.

• Most AR-15s are not imported. Hell, one of the largest domestic civilian manufacturer of lower receivers is in North Las Vegas.
• If she was wielding executive orders, you would think she would go full tyrant and ban everything.
• This a political move, pandering to the left base who is too stupid to get point 1.

The road to 2020 will be filled with stupid.

​I don’t think the hoplopaths in Clark County salivating with plans to exploit the repeal of preemption understand what a dream for activists such a thing is. Local laws are so much easier to attack and protest. They also don’t seem to understand that the activist gun owners are heavily concentrated in the same county. We’ll have a field day with protests and activism. They will really recharge the gun rights movement and get more people more deeply involved.
 
It’ll be fun until the lawsuits are successful and their crap ordinances are thrown out. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. City of New York promises to apply strict scrutiny to the Second Amendment which will doom pretty much every gun control law. The Heller decision’s clause about not casting doubt on long-standing prohibitions will likely go the way of the dodo because Scalia was compelled to put that in his opinion to ensure Justice Kennedy’s vote with the majority. Justice Kavanaugh will help fix Kennedy’s perfidy.
 
In other words, the jurisprudence that is likely held by the conservative Supreme Court is that “shall not be infringed” means what it says. Like the freedom of speech, limits on the right to keep and bear arms must be limited to what is absolutely necessary for civilized order. Felons will still be prohibited from carrying, but “gun free zones,” permits, and “assault weapon bans,” will probably be smacked down in the district courts. For instance, SCOTUS vacates and remands anti-gun decisions like Peruta to be reviewed under the new standard, which means that California goes shall-issue at a minimum.
 
If NYSRPA vs. NYC goes our way, when gun control laws get a successful decision in court, they die forever. So remember that Nevada hoplopaths; when we win, you lose. You’ll have to go full Maduro on us after that to get our guns.
 
For one, it’s much easier for Clark County residents to appear in person at the commission meetings. County commissioners could be petitioned in person; they live near us and frequently appear at public events. Local ordinances are going to be attacked with much easier legal ease when they inevitably violate due process rights.
 
Let’s not forget; many citizens have expressed a willingness to shut down the Strip with an open carry protest. Just imagine the consternation that a dozen rifle-toting citizens would cause walking down the Strip one afternoon in protest. It doesn’t even have to be an organized thing as people will spontaneously do it just to piss in the cheerios of the county commission.
 
So buckle up. Should AB 291 blow up on us, it’ll be a rough few years until the dust from all the lawsuits settle. However, it’ll scratch that protest itch as the commission and legislature unintentionally radicalizes the heretofore uninvolved gun owners. If the worst happens, after it is signed into law, Nevada Carry will assist the Nevada Firearms Coalition, the Second Amendment Foundation, and other organizations in building a lawsuit war chest.
 
Here’s how to help kill AB 291 in the Senate and keep it off the governor’s desk.

So my renewal CCW permit came in the mail the other day. The good news is that Metro is processing them at below 90 days again. The bad news is that Nevada's process sucks. From what I understand, Utah saves the fingerprint info on file and can just resubmit to the FBI.

Utah is fast; like three days fast. I can forgive them for the new photos thing because they'll take decent self-taken photos at home using a passport photo app. Of course I was sick that day and I looked like an unshaven Yeti...

​I'm personally glad that Metro made sure my fingerprints didn't change. I've recently been exposed to that stuff that made Peter Parker into Spiderman so I was kinda worried of random biological problems.

You'd think that the one part of the Records Bureau that helps people save their own lives and deter crime would be a little better staffed and more efficient. I don't think Lombardo or his predecessors saw empowering people to have a recourse when caught up as victims as a good thing. ​

I'm looking forward to the day Strict Scrutiny sinks the permit requirement altogether. 

​AB 291, Sandra Jauregui’s “quick, use the Mandalay Bay October 1 to get a bunch of anti-gun laws passed” omnibus bill, would reduce the objective limit to carry while drinking from .10 BAC to .08 BAC. This would conform with Nevada’s DUI laws (which was formerly .10). Why exactly this change was proposed, or is needed, remains to be seen.
 
.02 BAC is not much of a difference. I have not heard of any problems with .08 vs. .10 BAC. If there was such a problem, one would assume the subjective portion of the armed person being obviously intoxicated would then apply. However, leftist, bloody-shirt waving hoplopaths taking the advantage of the political situation does not imply reason matters.
 
Going armed while drinking is always a hot topic among firearm instructors and armed citizens. Some states prohibit guns in bars entirely, so Nevada’s “it’s okay if you aren’t smashed” law blows many people away. It can even start arguments online.
 
First things first; no one is talking about using firearms while drinking or getting drunk then hitting the range. We all agree that “hold my beer” is usually followed by a trip to the emergency room or worse. We are discussing holstered handguns that are no more dangerous than a parked car. Everyone has the right to self-defense, even while drinking. Gun rights don’t end at the bar or restaurant door.
 
Common sense should keep most decent people from carrying while they go out and get shitfaced. In my experience, people who like getting drunk in public typically aren't worried about needing to defend themselves with a gun and doing it legally. Either that or they accept the risk that carrying illegally can get them put in jail or their desire to have fun/drown their blues is more important than packing.
 
One November evening, a group of six or so off-duty police officers went to have drinks at a local country bar. Like all of us, they needed to blow off a little steam. Way back when, I did the same thing with my partners. Little did these officers know that some nutjob would come into the Borderline and kill twelve people. I can bet you there are six cops that will never go to a bar with out at least one or two of them carrying after that night.
 
That’s a good lesson to learn; if you are in a group, and even if you are cutting loose, have not only a DD, but a designated carrier. So in the debate of to carry or not while having a drink, let’s use common sense. If you can handle one or two drinks and drive home, you’re probably safe with a holstered pistol. 

AB 291, a bill that would give power to make anti-gun laws to the county commissions, and ban “rate increasing devices,” potentially making felons out of thousands of gun owners, is poised to hit the Senate floor in Carson City for a vote.
 
Clark County officials are already drooling over being allowed to pass their own gun laws, including bringing back the “blue card” handgun registration program, but for all guns. This is all without the bill even being passed out of the legislature. We face a hard battle in stopping it without resorting to the courts because Nevada was stolen by evil, power-hungry politicians and leftist groups.
 
Preemption was passed into law over 30 years ago by a bi-partisan legislature. In 1989, Clark County pushed to have the legislation watered down to preserve the “blue card” handgun registration program, but it inadvertently protected local gun bans, including Reno’s former open carry ban. Now, politicians frustrated with Second Amendment activism and bent on further restricting your rights want to do it at the local level.
 
Preemption was intended to create a uniform system of gun laws across the state; not subject to the emotional whims of local politicians, but up for input and debate from all parts of Nevada. AB 291 could create a hazardous condition of varying gun laws; what is legal to own in one county is illegal in the next. 30 years of protections will go down the drain.
 
Such arbitrary and capricious laws not only violate more than just the Second Amendment. Nevada’s own state protections of the right to keep and bear arms as well as the uniformity of legislation throughout the state. Repeal of preemption would create a large due-process violation and a host of unconstitutional flaws.
 
It’s clear that the Assembly did not listen to the overwhelming cry of the public who oppose this bill. Sheriffs from all but four counties oppose further gun control. This is a bill to specifically give Clark and Washoe county authorities the power to infringe as they see fit. Reach out to your sheriff, especially if you are in the two metro counties, and continue to show the Senate your opposition (also here).

​The NVFAC is calling all gunowners help to stop AB291. What they are requesting is for you to contact your sheriff (especially Clark and Washoe counties) and request they contact the Senate Judiciary committee in oposition to AB291.

Our first goal is to make gun owners aware of the unconstitutionality of AB291 with this attached letter. Please share this letter with pro-Second Amendment individuals and others by posting and sharing everywhere you can on social media.

Secondly NVFAC is going to be sending out an alert (link below) urging gun owners and voters to contact their sheriff voicing their opposition to AB291 today and other alerts are pending.

Third, NVFAC-PAC volunteers are gearing up for a full call, email and ENGAGE blitz on the 8 Senate Judiciary  committee members (Dallas Harris, James Ohrenschall, Marilyn Dondero Loop, Melanie Scheible & Nicole Cannizzaro)

If that doesn’t work, a group of us will be organizing a large rally in Carson City of pro 2a voters and other concerned citizens.

Dear Chair Cannizzaro,

The Nevada Firearms Coalition is STRONGLY OPPOSED to AB 291.

Former Assemblyman Danny Thompson (D-LV) in 1989 sponsored the bill to enact statewide preemption for firearms.  It was passed by the Democrat-controlled Assembly and Republican-controlled Senate, reserving power to regulate firearms to the state and not local authorities.
AB291 will revoke a law that has been on the books for 30 years that has ensured law-abiding citizens don’t break the law just because they cross a city or county boundary.

AB 291 as proposed addresses four different subject matters:  1. The elimination of devices that allow a semi auto rifle to be shot faster than its design.  2. The lowering of the blood alcohol limit for firearms possession.  3. Restricting concealed carry in county buildings. 4. Repealing three state laws and granting counties the authority to enact firearms laws more restrictive than state laws.

There are no common threads of similarity between the four subject matters.  Semi auto functions, alcohol level, public buildings, and delegation of authority for more restrictive gun laws are four separate and disparate issues. For this reason, we believe that AB 291 is violation of the Constitution of the State of Nevada. Amendments to current law for the first three subjects  is accomplished by modifying NRS 202. However, to accomplish subject matter 4, three other statutes must be repealed (NRS 244.364, NRS 268.418 and NRS 269.222) and NRS 244.364 being included in NRS 202, clearly violating the single subject requirement found in Article 4 Section 17 of  the Constitution of the State of Nevada.

• Article 1 Sec. 11. Right to keep and bear arms; civil power supreme.
• 1. Every citizen has the right to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes.
• Article 4 Sec. 17.  Act to embrace one subject only; title; amendment.  Each law enacted by the Legislature shall embrace but one subject, and matter, properly connected therewith, which subject shall be briefly expressed in the title; and no law shall be revised or amended by reference to its title only; but, in such case, the act as revised or section as amended, shall be re-enacted and published at length.
• Article 4 Sec: 21.  General laws to have uniform application.  In all cases enumerated in the preceding section, and in all other cases where a general law can be made applicable, all laws shall be general and of uniform operation throughout the State.
• Article 1, Section 11. Establishes the regulation of firearms as constitutionally protected. AB 291 delegates this protection from the state to the counties. This is a violation of Dillion’s Rules where constitutionally protected rights are protected per state authority and not to be delegated.
• Article 4, Section 17. It is required by the Nevada Constitution that each law must embrace only one subject.
• As defined above, AB 291 embraces FOUR disparate and unrelated subjects and four different statutes.
• The title of this bill is misleading “AB 291 Revises Provisions Relating to Public Safety.” There is no information in the title that would indicate the repeal of additional statues that prohibits counties from making firearms laws, nor identification of the other three disparate subjects included under this general and nonspecific title.
• Although the bill is focused on firearms, the word does not even appear in the title.
• Chapter 202 is titled “Crimes against Public Health and Safety under Title 15 “Crimes and Punishments.”  Yet to accomplish the intent of AB 291 a repeal of portions of Chapter 244 Counties: Government under a completely different Title 20 “Counties and Townships: Formation, Government and Officer” is required.  As well as two other separate and distinct titles mentioned above.

In addition to the above points, the single subject Article 4 Section 17 has been violated due in part that the title of the bill does not relate to the subjects embraced in the act. {Payne, 53 Nev. Wise vs. Bechtel Corp (Nev 1988).

Article 4, Section 21. Requires all laws to be general and of uniform application throughout the state. AB 291 could result in 18 different levels of gun laws throughout the State of Nevada. There are currently 170 state gun laws and regulations. Allowing counties to modify and make these laws more restrictive could result in an additional 2,720 different gun laws in Nevada, without including the existing federal gun laws. This is certainly contrary to the intent of Article 4 Section 21 and places an unfair and unjust burden on citizens. In addition, Nevada citizens are highly mobile and the act of crossing a street from one county to another could result in arrest and confiscation of their firearms, loss of their civil rights, and force them to incur great expenses for defense against their prosecution. All for something that is already legislated in state law.

For these and other reasons, we respectfully request that AB 291 be stricken, or amended to confirm to its original single subject rule; regulation of semi auto enhancement devices.

Sincerly,
Don Turner, President
