(GunReports.com) — On Tuesday, August 28, the state Advisory Commission on the Administration of Justice (also called a legislative interim committee) was to hold a public hearing in Carson City that included “Assault Weapons” as its third topic.
NRA-ILA hadn’t been informed that gun legislation was on the agenda.
So prior to the meeting, the ILA notified Nevada gun owners that “It is very important that those who influence policy for gun owners in Nevada know that law-abiding gun owners are paying attention. Please attend the hearing and plan to speak. Please also contact Chairman William Horne to politely remind him that Nevada does not need another failed gun control experiment.”
More than 100 people showed up.
At the meeting Commission Member Judge David Barker, who presides over the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, stated that hearing issues pertaining to “Assault Weapons” fell outside the parameters of the commission’s statutorily-defined purpose. He further stated that this was a legislative matter, not to be taken up by an interim committee.
The commission voted 8-5 to table the topic.
