3. The Bloomberg mafia is infiltrating the populace here in Nevada

trying to get a law passed similar to the one that was approved in Washington state a while back, calling for universal background checks. Among other insanity, it criminalizes the transfer of a shotgun to your BFF today for them to take shooting 2 days from now on the weekend, unless you get a background check done on him/her first. The true irony is that even if you do get a check done, when you take it back from them after the weekend is done you would need to have a background check done on YOU in order to legally have your own gun back.

Link to the initiative, so you can see for yourself just how intrusive this is:

This is stupidity of the highest order. For one thing, unless you have a registry showing who owns what, you can't tell for certain who a gun belongs to. For another, this law will do zip.shit to stop criminals from getting guns, as they don't seem to care if they break the law while getting their dick-skinners on a weapon.
