Here is the text of the bill,

https://www.leg.state.nv.us/75th2009/Bills/AB/AB46_EN.pdf


I called the Governors Las Vegas office this afternoon and was told I am the only one to call concerning AB46 today. This bill stretches the arm of gun control even further.

Gun Owners of Nevada has released an alert concerning this bill as well,

There is a guestbook here: http://nv.gov/new_ContactUs.htm

I provided an email address, because it said to do so if I want a response, but I think it was not necessary in order to submit a suggestion. WHO has a suggestion box anymore? Most of 'em hide from the citizenry.

Dear Governor Gibbons:

I so hope you will veto AB46. Separately from our Constitutionally provided right-indeed-responsibility to bear arms, the increasingly long arm and heavy hand of the Federal Government is frightening.

For those of us who seek to relocate commerce and consumption -- income and expenditures -- to a User Friendly state, it would be really excellent if a few states that are warmer than Montana and New Hampshire would display broad shoulders and strong, straight spines.

Name even ONE dictatorship that did not commence with a call to surrender arms. Think Denzel Washington in Man On Fire. "There's no such thing as tough. There's trained, and there's untrained."

There IS such a thing as Tough for I have met it, good and bad. It's on account of the Bad Tough that the Good Tough need to be armed, trained and vigilant.

'Ready, willing and able' has been trivialized through commercialization and overuse, just like Love and Law.

Prepared, Committed & Trained. Without that, once it can't pay its taxes, a citizenry is pure liability -- dead weight.

I implore Governors to step up to the Improvise plate, like masterful CEO's righting failing companies. It's doable -- as ever, there must be a First Step.

Peace and Prosperity,

I am reading on the County Sheriff's website that gun registration is not required in Washoe County. They WILL register your gun, if you like, but it is not required.

FIREARMS REGISTRATION

Nevada law does not require that guns be registered. There is no charge for registration of your gun. You must supply the gun's make, model, and serial number.

Does this imply that a permit is not required to purchase a handgun at a Reno gun shop? Or does this mean that . . . AFTER you whip out the Official Permit that confers upon you a Constitutionally enshrined right . . . and AFTER you buy a firearm from one of such a few manufacturers as to suggest conspiracy in restraint of trade . . . THEN you don't have to provide your 411 on yet ANOTHER fee-based, identity-tracking form?

Also, must one be a Nevada resident? More to the point, have paperwork that SAYS one is a Nevada resident. I'm loving that all these honorable Bearing Arms folks are towing all these charge/register/rebate lines, when Bad Guys manufacture fake ID. The word on the street is that the best fake ID/paperwork comes out of Arizona . . . McCain country.

Israeli arms by special order in Nevada? Color me surprised.

Wait for the music, for the full effect.

So the deal in Nevada is that I COULD buy a gun right then and there . . . no permit, no registration . . . just a simple background check that only takes about ten minutes.

Um, er, I obviously don't get the fine points of Resistance but I am WELL acquainted with the paper trail of Retail, and I happen to know that providing ANY information is to lift the lid on Pandora's Box.

Just last week, I received a notice to join InfoWars.TV. Since I am not yet up to speed with 'YouTubing,' and since I increasingly hear of censorship in that venue, I signed up. What's to lose? Indeed nothing, on the contrary. I have received no fewer than five emails advising me that quite staggering sums of money are just WAITING for me to claim them. Now, I'm not saying that InfoWars is the culprit. InfoWars.TV is just the only entity to which I can recall having lately supplied an email address. I AM saying that Selling Information is big business.

Surveillance is big business. Government is big business.

SEPARATELY, providing tracking information on arms ownership to the government is antithetical to the concept of Bearing Arms in order to restrain government.

What? Push has come to shove? And I'm on the wrong side?! How did THAT happen?! I haven't even MOOOVED!! Fine, adversaries it is. I have no information on you, but here ya go, here's all of mine . . . now, may the best man win.

I know this much. The two wizened rednecks in the gun shop, both of whom favor revolvers over pistols for novices? We're on the same side. FOR THE RECORD, they were not we'll-break-the-rules-for-you on my side . . . no sirree, those FFL's are strictly BY. THE. BOOK. The thing is, I don't wanna be in a book unless I'm writing it, or it's a history book.

Unlike the South Shore of Lake Tahoe, Reno is sporting lots and lots and lots of vacancies. I forget where the Warm Weather Free Township thread is, but I am inclined to think that Nevada will be more welcoming and more innovative . . . altogether less of a crapshoot.

Speaking of gambling, I wonder whether there is protocol for buying guns in pawn shops.
