Since NPRI is supposedly in favor of transparency, why do they insist on keeping secret their donors? They're clearly a front group, but for whom? They just won't say. NPRI preaches transparency, but practices opacity.

In Arizona, the state Legislature passed a similar bill, but the bill was vetoed by the Arizona Governor, who is a Republican and an NRA member.

Under current law, a holder of a concealed weapons permit can take their weapon onto a university campus, if they have permission from the university President, who (at UNLV and maybe elsewhere) has delegated that job to the university police.

If this bill passes, anyone with a concealed carry permit can take their weapon onto a university campus even if the university police object!

It's very telling that nobody has the right to take a concealed weapon into the NV legislature. Legislators have exempted themselves from the bill.

Gerrymandering has a very long tradition in this country. The word dates back to 1812. For ages, election districts were drawn to minimize the power of (say) African-Americans. Nobody objected.

In recent decades, some election districts have been drawn to increase the power of racial minorities. Howls of indignation fill the air!

If the Sandoval budget goes through, it will result in elimination of over 500 positions at UNR and UNLV. Thousands of students will not be able to get the courses they want.

No attention should be paid to Patrick Gibbons, an ideologue with the rightwing Nevada Policy Research Institute, which stubbornly refuses to reveal its funding sources.
