Freepers responded to a previous post from GOA here.

We heard on local Fox talk radio yesterday here in Reno that the veto calls were 6 to 1 over the “sign it” calls. Wonder what the hell happened to the 86% of Nevadans supporting SB221? Maybe the MIAGgots lied about the number. Nah. They’d never make stuff up would they?

Bloomberg thought the rest of America was as nervous, hypochondrical, hysterically anti-gun like he and my fellow NYers are? What a schmuck.

[veracious]

Hurrah, for lawful government and courage, Governor Sandoval !!!!

[Red Steel]

Did Bloomberg’s head explode?

The Las Vegas area Oath Keepers had their monthly meeting last night. They do a great job following what’s going on in local and federal government. Our board president does a great job. The meetings are educational and engaging- well worth the time and I’m not generally a “joiner.” We’ve been following this bill for months and this was some great news. I encourage my fellow Las Vegas area Freepers to check us out.

I got a call the other day (before he vetoed this) and was asked if I’d be willing to volunteer for Sandoval and Heller campaigns. I said no and was hung up on immediately without even being asked why.

I’m very disappointed in Heller and wary of Sandoval, I’m glad he did veto this.

Heck, who I met at the first Tea Party here, is a bit of a disappointment too.

Smooth move Sandy....

saw the writing on the wall, eh?

[Monkey Face]

YES!!!

I emailed him and told him I didn’t need to be protected from game animals but from the felons and crazies who use ILLEGAL GUNS!

[Monkey Face]

The best thing about it was that Sandoval waited until the LAST POSSIBLE MINUTE to veto it. That way, it will be over a year before it will see the light of day in Carson City again!

S/B221 was sponsored by a freshman RAT hoping to make a big splash for himself right out of the gate. Now he has his pantyhose in a big wad and is spouting the usual lies and B/S about “86% of Nevadans wanted his bill because its "just common sense” and “we have to start somewhere”,and so on and so forth. He is “deeply disappointed” Yada Yada and so on. A$$wipe Reid is saying about the same sort of $hit. So a pox on both of them.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns [MAIG]. The organization spent hundreds of thousands of dollars working to get the bill passed through to the governor.”

Take that you MARXIST sack of puss!

[Standing Wolf]

Well done, Nevadans!

[bert]

What should be vetoed is New York.

America just doesn’t need New York.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns [MAIG]...

Ain't it ironic that they only work against LEGAL guns?

I was happy to call it, even though I live in Utah! Why? Because Nevada is sort of a “home away from home” state! Many relatives live there still as well as here in Utah. Also,if he (Sandoval) had’ve signed it, they would’ve been over here, drunk with victory, stirring up crap in UT. He might still try to pull it here in UT! My relatives are good old gun-toting, hunting, fishing, very patriotic “heart of the golden west” people; many of them with French Basque ancestry (through one Grandma-Gr.Grandma) They would’ve had a fit; young and old alike! Even some who are Democrats/liberals/1 gay cousin w/partner) who do like their Republican governor pretty well! Well, I just had to help them (and their governor) out, after all! :-)

[Gator113]

Great news.

I am going to send Governor Sandoval a note thanking him for his courage in doing the right thing.

Well, at least Bloomberg with eat crow with the integrity and dignity of a sick dog eating its own vomit.
