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 American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
