"Laxalt himself dealt the background check law a setback earlier this week, stating in an opinion Wednesday that it can not take effect as scheduled because of a problem with the way it assigns responsibility for conducting the checks between the state and the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
The initiative said that dealers conducting background checks for private transfers must contact the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to determine whether the buyer is eligible to purchase or possess firearms under state and federal law. But the FBI informed the Nevada Department of Public Safety on Dec. 14 that it will not conduct these background checks." Hmm - doesn't that mean that there can be no private transfers after the law takes effect? Can the Nevada Attorney General keep a law from going into effect just because he doesn't like the impact of the law? --henry schaffer On Sat, Dec 31, 2016 at 3:53 PM, Olson, Joseph E. <[email protected]> wrote: > And ... the law, adopted by Initiative, cannot be changed by the > Legislature for THREE years. <smirk> > > ************************************************************ > ******************************************************** > Professor Joseph Olson, J.D.(*Honors,* Duke), Ll.M (Florida) > Office 651-695-7674| > Hamline University School of Law (Emeritus) > Fax: 651-290-6426 > Mitchell-Hamline School of Law (Emeritus & Adjunct) > C*ell 612-865-7956 <(612)%20865-7956>* > [email protected] <[email protected]> [primary] *or* > [email protected] [secondary] > > On Sat, Dec 31, 2016 at 12:54 PM, C D Tavares <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Nevada activists deliver the "two punch..." >> >> Begin forwarded message: >> >> >> Nevada’s new law expanding firearm background checks to private-party >> sales and transfers is facing another challenge: a lawsuit contending that >> it violates of the state Constitution.... >> >> http://www.reviewjournal.com/local/nevada/nevada-s-gun-backg >> round-check-law-already-limbo-faces-new-legal-challenge >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> To post, send message to [email protected] >> To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see >> http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof >> >> Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as >> private.
