Nevada’s “Ghost Gun” Law

2022-03-03T17:56:41-06:00March 3rd, 2022|Tags: Nevada, Nonvideo|

In December 2021, a Nevada state court judge invalidated portions of the new Nevada “ghost gun” law. The statute, which had an effective date of January 1, 2022, addresses unserialized firearms. While the court ruling suspends certain parts of the law, the ultimate fate of the law is yet to be decided. The law is surrounded by a sharply divided public opinion with gun owners, gun rights advocates, manufacturers, law enforcement, and gun control advocacy groups holding strong opinions.

What should have been a simple custody exchange turned into a deadly shooting caught on video. Did Kyle Carruth murder Chad Read, or was he simply defending himself from an unlawful use of force?

Guns in public, and specifically right to carry laws, are a hot button topic for most Americans.

Although 2021 was far from ideal, the pro-Second Amendment community did experience a few wins that showed us things can get better with united effort.
