Nevada Senate Passes Universal Background Check Bill | |||
| Posted February 14th, 2019 12:34 pm | |||
AMGOA Staff Legislation to expand background checks to private gun sales and transfers passed Wednesday in the state Senate with a party-line vote, marking a step forward in a years-long push to close the loophole. Lawmakers delivered emotional speeches on both sides of the issue one day after a Senate committee approved the measure. Lawmakers say the legislation would be a fix to a 2016 gun background check initiative approved by voters. The measure has gone unenforced. "A lot of us are relieved, I think we're feeling like this is finally an issue we can put to bed," Senate Majority Leader Kelvin Atkinson, a Democrat, said after the vote. "Obviously, there will be court challenges. But we think we're standing on solid ground." https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/politics-government/national-politics/article226220490.html |
