Nevada's new governor-elect, Steve Sisolak, says several gun control measures top the list of his agenda.
"Sisolak said in an interview with The Associated Press that he wants to see the state ban assault weapons, silencers, and bump stocks" the Las Vegas Sun reports. "In addition to those changes, Sisolak has said he wants to find a way to enact a 2016-voter-approved background check initiative that Republican Attorney General Adam Laxalt and GOP Gov. Brian Sandoval say was flawed and can't be enforced."
"This is something that's extremely important to me," Sisolak said. "I've already been in discussion with some law enforcement and intend to get going on that very, very quickly."
Sisolak, the Sun reports, "will be the first Democrat in the post in two decades" when he takes office in January 2019. Sisolak will also have many allies in the Legislature, as Democrats achieved a supermajority in the Assembly during the November 2018 midterm elections. https://www.gunpowdermagazine.com/new-nevada-gov-names-gun-control-among-top-priorities/?fbclid=IwAR0lm67lJHcX5ilAgjtCGTnWtJQhn1QkFdgAQlTi4GFKc59PjSIaunifz6c
