In this article; http://www.8newsnow.com/story/14917673/gun-rights, states, “Only Clark County and Washoe County require gun owners to register their firearms with local police. Local gun owners want to repeal that requirement.”
This statement is not completely correct! In Washoe County, there is no Washoe County requirement that owners of handguns must register them with the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office. No stinkin Clark County handgun registration stuff here in Washoe County! However, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office does have a Voluntary handgun registration program! Link: http://www.washoesheriff.com/firearm-registration.htm These yahoos never get anything right! There is another Nevada outisde of Clark County, and it can be great! PS: I have e-mailed KLAS demanding a correction!

They are confusing the "Exemption" that the legislature allows the big counties with the facts.
Washoe could technically have had a registration scheme but does not. I think that since they never began such a scheme it is now too late to do so? Good catch on the bogus article. |

I think that since they never began such a scheme it is now too late to do so? Good catch on the bogus article. What year did Washoe County enact their voluntary handgun registration? Had to be before 06-13-1989, in order to be exempt from NV's preemption law. NRS 268.418 1. Except as otherwise provided by specific statute, the Legislature reserves for itself such rights and powers as are necessary to regulate the transfer, sale, purchase, possession, ownership, transportation, registration and licensing of firearms and ammunition in Nevada, and no city may infringe upon those rights and powers. As used in this subsection, “firearm” means any weapon from which a projectile is discharged by means of an explosive, spring, gas, air or other force. 2. The governing body of a city may proscribe by ordinance or regulation the unsafe discharge of firearms. 3. If the governing body of a city in a county whose population is 400,000 or more has required by ordinance or regulation adopted before June 13, 1989, the registration of a firearm capable of being concealed, the governing body shall amend such an ordinance or regulation to require: (a) A period of at least 60 days of residency in the city before registration of such a firearm is required. (b) A period of at least 72 hours for the registration of a pistol by a resident of the city upon transfer of title to the pistol to the resident by purchase, gift or any other transfer. 4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 1, as used in this section: (a) “Firearm” means any device designed to be used as a weapon from which a projectile may be expelled through the barrel by the force of any explosion or other form of combustion. (b) “Firearm capable of being concealed” includes all firearms having a barrel less than 12 inches in length. (c) “Pistol” means a firearm capable of being concealed that is intended to be aimed and fired with one hand. |

Link: http://www.washoesheriff.com/firearm-registration.htm [/img] You almost have to wonder who volunteers this information, unless it's some extreme case of establishing ownership for insurance purposes. I'd almost think you'd call the Washoe Sheriff's Office firearms bureau claiming to want to register your guns, and the nice ladies there who do all the NFA documentation and fingerprinting would reply "What, really? Um, okaayyy...?" |

Remember people The majority of people are stupid even gun owners. Though I like to think our percentages arent quite as bad as the sheep

Registration is the norm where many people come from, and not just Kalifornia.
They are conditioned to accept registration as a normal fact of life, they probably grew up with it and do not know any other way. Our freedom in 16 of 17 counties confuses them, they do not expect it. 
We need to clean up that one less free county, to insure their "Blue card" scheme never spreads. |

I remember selling my gun FTF in Nevada for the first time. I called the sheriff and asked if it was legal and if there's any paperwork I could have so I'd be clear of anything that happened with the gun after. I was 21 or 22 and it was my first gun. 686 sold for $400 in about 20 minutes. |
