The anti gunners fight complete and total war against guns.....when they can't openly throw power around because they are afraid their minions in congress will get voted out...they resort to guerrilla tactics like they have been doing in various states.....backed by money from bloomberg and soros........
This warfare takes the shape of a push for universal background checks....which do nothing to stop criminals or mass shooters...but as we can see in Nevada...increases the chaos, and expense of buying guns for normal, law abiding people who do not use their guns for crime.....
Nevada’s universal background check law causing confusion for gun dealers
“We are having a lot of problems with it,” said Don Turner, president of the Nevada Firearms Coalition. “We have all these little hanging things out there that nobody seemed to care about.”
One of those “things” includes a stark difference in how dealers process background checks for private party transfers versus a regular sale.
As a point-of-contact state, Nevada’s Department of Public Safety currently handles background checks for gun sales, but the language of the new law requires dealers, when handling private party transfers, submit checks directly to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System instead.
Turner says dealers aren’t sure how to reconcile the conflicting requirements, so he sent a letter to state Attorney General Adam Laxalt requesting a meeting with his office, the Department of Public Safety-Central Repository, the Nevada Department of Taxation, Clark County Department of Taxation and the state representatives of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tax, Firearms and Explosives “as soon as possible.”
“They all have different rules that are in conflict with the initiative,” he said.
Monica Moazez, spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office, said Tuesday any guidance on how to interpret the new law would be provided in the form of an official opinion posted to the office’s website, but declined to comment specifically on the questions raised by the coalition.
There’s also no guidance on what to charge for private party checks, beyond the “reasonable fee” language used in the law. Turner says the current $25 fee for the state check generates between $2 million and $3 million a year.
Some of the 250 licensed dealers in the Las Vegas Valley have considered charging as much as $100, Bob Irwin, a local gun store owner, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Sunday.

Turner says wealthy gun control advocates, like former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, targeted Nevada for universal background checks because of its small population and limited resources to challenge any ballot initiative.
Bloomberg and his gun control group, Everytown for Gun Safety, spent $19 million alone pushing the background check law throughout the election cycle, outspending the National Rifle Association nearly 5-to-1.
Turner says the money scraped together by the coalition pales in comparison to the NRA’s $4.5 million donation.
