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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
