I certainly applaud your efforts.
In strategy, be sure to include a campaign to elect more pro-gun legislators, and re-elect our current pro-gun legislators. Therein lies the biggest problem; we simply need more pro-gun legislators.
For too many sessions, the anti-gun Democrats have had control of both houses in Nevada.
I've said it before many times, but I'll say it again. If/when YOUR senator or assemblyman introduces a bill, do you think the bill will be heard and perhaps voted upon? One might reasonably think so, right?
WRONG. The majority party (in Nevada, Democrats for many, many years now) gets to pick committee chairmen. Committee chairmen get to pick and choose what bills they will allow to be heard in committee. And even if they allow a bill to be heard, they still have the option to NOT allow a vote on the bill, quite effectively killing the bill - which means the bill will never go to its respective house floor for consideration/vote.
Case in point: when (then) Assemblyman William Horne chaired the Assembly Judiciary Committee. Under pressure, he allowed the bill to be heard, but REFUSED to allow a vote, thereby killing the Campus Carry bill. Thankfully, Horne is gone from the Assembly (term limited out.) (By the way, by all accounts, the votes were there to pass the bill out of committee on to the Assembly floor; and I agree as I was there, lobbying FOR the bill.)
This not only can happen, it DOES happen - frequently.
Far too often, folks don't pay much attention to our state legislature. But I'm here to say it is important - VERY important. And the November 2014 election is super important.
