A Las Vegas law firm hired to represent Nevadans for Background Checks filed a massive public records request Monday in pursuit of communication between several state agencies, police departments, the FBI and the National Rifle Association.

The firm Greenberg Traurig was hired to represent the campaign after the gun background check measure was blocked from its planned Jan. 1 implementation because the FBI refused to perform the background checks. Nevada voters in November approved the initiative to expand firearm background checks to private-party sales and transfers.

Greenberg Traurig isn’t a Las Vegas firm. They are a huge outfit based out of Miami. They do have a Las Vegas office.

From professional limited interaction with them, I don’t hold them in very high regard. Maybe the folks I dealt with weren’t representative of the firm as a whole.

who paid this overpriced lawfirm’s legal bill?

they do not work for free.

There is a deeper story here.

[longtermmemmory]

lawyers who work for them probably do not hold them in high regard.

Soooooo.....an attorney has privilege between an attorney and a client lacking their communication. Not in the constitution, but is common practice. But gun owner a right by the constitution doesn't have the same privilege between them and their government.

Correction. I do not believe Nevada voters approved question 1, Clark County voters passed it. The rest of Nevada voted against it.
