Nevada passed vote requiring background checks for person to person sale

[hardcase]

I suspect this would have been one of the least onerous regulations to have gone national if the Hil had been elected. The way I interpret this law is you cannot leave a firearm to your son or grandson without a background check.

The good news is that Maine voters rejected an almost identical Bloomberg backed universal background checks initiative 52-48%.

Meanwhile, in Nevada the background check only passed 50.45% to 49.55% (those opposed very nearly pulled an upset and Bloomberg spent ~$19 million in NV on this initiative).

In Washington State, the very onerous I-1491 (extreme risk protection order) passed with 71% voting for it, which will allow almost anyone to report that someone is a danger to themselves or others and have their guns are confiscated (no due process, and a person can at a later time go to court and try to prove that they should get their guns back).

I would imagine that well to do California liberals are filtering to Nevada thus bringing their failed beliefs with them. We are seeing that here in deep red Tennessee with New England types coming here and pulling the same thing.

Baker, good point. Even more pointed is that 16 of 17 counties in Nevada strongly voted to oppose universal background checks. Only Clark county voted for it; but since Las Vegas is in Clark county, that city's population carried the entire State.
