Charlie T Waite Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 On Monday, April 1st at 8AM in room 4100, the Nevada Legislature will be holding a joint hearing of the Assembly and Senate Judiciary Committees to consider Assembly Bill 291. Introduced by Assemblywoman Sandra Jauregui (D-41), this omnibus anti-gun legislation is a threat to both law-abiding gun owners residing in Nevada and those who are visiting. It's imperative that gun owners contact members of the committee and voice their opposition. You can contact the committee by using the take action button below and by calling the respective members. Assembly Judiciary Committee Chair: Steve Yeager (D-9), (775) 684-8549 Vice Chair: Lesley Cohen (D-29), (775) 684-8855 Shea Backus (D-37), (775) 684-8505 Skip Daly (D-31), (775) 684-8563 Ozzie Fumo (D-21), (775) 684-8839 Brittney Miller (D-5), (775) 684-8833 Rochelle Nguyen (D-10), (775) 684-8541 Sarah Peters (D-24), (775) 684-8559 Selena Torres (D-3), (775) 684-8599 Howard Watts (D-15), (775) 684-8835 Chris Edwards (R-19), (775) 684-8857 Alexis Hansen (R-32), (775) 684-8851 Lisa Krasner (R-26), (775) 684-8848 Tom Roberts (R-13), (775) 684-8853 Jill Tolles (R-25), (775) 684-8837 Senate Judiciary Committee Chair: Nicole Cannizzaro (D-6), (775) 684-1475 Vice Chair: Dallas Harris (D-11), (775) 684-6502 James Ohrenschall (D-21), (775) 684-6503 Marilyn Dondero Loop (D-8), (775) 684-1445 Melanie Scheible (D-9), (775) 684-1421 Scott Hammond (R-18), (775) 684-1442 Ira Hansen (R-14), (775) 684-1480 Keith Pickard (R-20), (775) 684-1481 Most notably, AB 291: Repeals Firearms Preemption Laws: State preemption prevents local governments from enacting their own gun control ordinances and creating a confusing patchwork of laws. Without preemption, a person could face various laws and regulations when traveling throughout the State. Criminalizes Firearm Modifications: Like SB 261, introduced by Sen. Yvanna Cancela (D-10), this legislation has language even more broad and overreaching than existing federal regulations and could potentially criminalize firearm modifications such as competition triggers or ergonomic changes that are commonly done by law-abiding gun owners to make their firearms more suitable for self-defense, competition, hunting, or even overcoming disability. Expands the ability for localities to create “gun-free zones:” These arbitrary boundaries only disarm law-abiding citizens and leave them defenseless against the criminals who ignore such restrictions. Hearing Info: Date: Monday, April 1st Time: 8:00AM Where: Room 4100 of the Legislative Building, 401 S. Carson St., Carson City, NV. Video conferenced to Room 4401 of the Grant Sawyer State Office Building, 555 E. Washington Ave., Las Vegas, NV. Again, please click the “Take Action” button and call the phone numbers above to urge committee members to OPPOSE AB 291. Link to comment
