Pointy end and slightly to the left
It is posted on other pro gun sites Metro has been calling local gun shops telling them no registration and no 72 hours wait.




This was posted on Facebook
It's official. Memo from LVMPD distributed this afternoon ~16:30 to everyone inside metro.
"
The State of Nevada has passed new laws which render null and void local ordinances/codes regulating the transfer, sale, possession, ownership, transportation, registration and licensing of firearms and ammunition.
Therefore, effective immediately the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department will no longer enforce local ordinances/codes regarding handgun registration. LVMPD Officers will neither cite nor arrest subjects based on the following ordinances/codes:
12.04.110 REGISTRATION OF PISTOLS WITHIN SEVENTY-TWO HOURS
12.04.200 REGISTRATION OF FIREARMS CAPABLE OF BEING CONCEALED
12.04.210 UNLAWFUL TRANSFER OF FIREARMS CAPABLE OF BEING CONCEALED
Additionally, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department will no longer register handguns.
"
If you'd like a copy of the memo, see the Nevada 2nd Amendment group (files section):

Wow. Way to go NV! What a great example for other states to follow.

Well, to be fair, Nevada was WAY behind most states on this. We had an unconstitutional handgun registration in one county that was allowed to be different from other counties. We had a failure of this county to follow already existing state laws, and we still have that failure in other regards, especially related to carrying in local government buildings.

We AGAIN failed to put a penalty clause in the clarified laws that forced this county (a week after they were supposed to) to comply.

And we still have a cop system with an F-U attitude, led by a dynasty-emplaced sheriff that campaigned to end the registration, and then fought to continue its enforcement after the state had to end it for him because he refused.

The cops only began complying a week later because they were being constantly lambasted on social media, and exposed as hypocrites AGAIN.

Great points.

No immediate penalty.

But the new law, as amended by SB-175, DOES say:
Any person who is adversely affected by the enforcement of
an ordinance or regulation that violates this section on or after
October 1, 2015, may file suit in the appropriate court for
declarative and injunctive relief and damages attributable to the
violation. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, such a
person is entitled to:
(a) Reimbursement of actual damages, reasonable attorney’s
fees and costs which the person has incurred if, within 30 days
after the person commenced the action but before a final
determination has been issued by the court, the governing body of
the city repeals the ordinance or regulation that violates this
section.
(b) Liquidated damages in an amount equal to two times the
actual damages, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by
the person if, more than 30 days after the person commenced the
action but before a final determination has been issued by the
court, the governing body of the city repeals the ordinance or
regulation that violates this section.
(c) Liquidated damages in an amount equal to three times the
actual damages, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by
the person if the court makes a final determination in favor of the
person.

Yeah, that doesn't count as a real penalty; more like compensation, and it comes from the jurisdiction's budget (tax dollars), not from the actual perpetrator of the crime.
