Good For Sandoval: Vetoes Anti-Gun Law

From the LVRJ: Pity the poor people who work in Gov. Brian Sandoval’s office.
They have been so bombarded by calls from people who want the governor to veto the gun control bill passed by the Legislature that they set up an automated phone system to allow “voting” on Senate Bill 221.
Although the governor for months has said he will veto the bill, 2,200 people called his office between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Wednesday, a day after the National Rifle Association asked gun control opponents to call and let him “hear your opposition.” Four out of five calls have been for the veto.
“He is going to veto the bill,” reasserted the governor’s press secretary, Mary-Sarah Kinner, something the Review-Journal and other Nevada media have reported for months.
Under the bill, people who purchase guns privately or at gun shows, would have to pay as much as $30 for a background check through a licensed gun dealer before they could claim their guns.
When the veto will be made, nobody yet knows.
Sandoval will become the first governor in the nation to veto a gun control bill since the Sandy Hook massacre in December that left 20 Connecticut children and six educators shot to death. SB221 would require all purchasers of firearms to go through background checks before they could receive their weapons.   http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-legislature/sandovals-office-barraged-calls-veto-nevada-gun-control-bill
The Dumbocrats overreached on this bill.  Sandoval would have signed the bill if the dealt with the mentally ill but the Dumbocrats decided to go after law abiding citizens.
But then you expect the Dumbocrats to actually be smart.
