Nevada lawmakers amended the signature gun control package that Democrats hoped to pass this legislative session, removing provisions that would have increased penalties for people who bring firearms to certain locations where they're banned. Three-and-a-half years after Las Vegas experienced the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, Assemblywoman Sandra Jauregui, a Democrat who survived the massacre, said she remains committed to passing gun laws to make Nevada safer in every legislative session.

Siwwy wabbit.
A grocery store, Starbucks or on the Strip in general are places that muggings and robberies normally occur. Casinos are already free to ban arms if they wish. The lady's (understandable) heightened sensitivity to firearms in public is no way to weigh the issue. Her preferences are not only unrealistic (criminals could care less about her proposed new laws), but they tread where government is prohibited from inserting itself.
"Ghost guns" is a meme. It has always been lawful in this country to manufacture one's own firearms. Technology making exercise of this right easier is not a valid target for crime control.
While we should be gentle in responding to folks like her, we must be insistent as well.
No. Not here. Not ever. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
