Ballot Questions:
State Question 1, Firearm
background checks: No
While well-intentioned, Question
1 is opposed by virtually all of
Nevada’s county sheriffs because
it would be ineffective and
unenforceable. The measure,
the brainchild of anti-Second
Amendment crusader Michael
Bloomberg, promises to burden
law-abiding citizens with more
costs and red tape while doing
little to reduce crime. It
encompasses even firearm
transfers and loans, going far
beyond a simple background
check requirement for third-party
or online sales.
State Question 2, Marijuana
legalization: No
State Question 3, Energy choice:
Yes
State Question 4, Tax break for
medical equipment: No
County Question 5, Gas tax hikes
for local road work: Yes
