Friends,
I'm so thankful that Governor Sandoval has listened to the thousands of Nevadans who have contacted his office urging him to oppose SB221. Less than an hour ago Governor Sandoval vetoed this bill.
Senate Bill 221 hits home for me. Not only would this gun control legislation negatively impact law-abiding Nevadans from one end of the state to the other, I am appalled to hear about the hundreds of thousands of dollars the New York based, Mayor Bloomberg funded Mayors Against Illegal Guns spent in Nevada to buy this vote. Even more, they flooded our Legislators and Governor with calls from people who live across the country, claiming to speak for Nevadans.
But Nevadans pushed back. The Governor's office is reporting thousands of calls urging him to veto SB221, and for every call in support, there were four calls opposed. This is what we call public outcry.
