Defeat this anti-freedom measure
As sheriff of Washoe County, Nev., I’m committed to doing everything in my power to protect your families, your property and your community. I’m equally committed to protecting your rights and freedoms as U.S. citizens. One of my fundamental principles and promises to citizens is to not support legislation that would infringe upon or restrict our Second Amendment rights. In that light, I’m concerned about Question 1 on the November ballot. Largely bought and paid for by billionaire gun control advocate Michael Bloomberg, it would do nothing to stop criminals while criminalizing the commonplace activities of many Nevada gun owners.
