  • Nuns buy Smith & Wesson shares, then sue to stop production of AR-style rifles

    The Washington Post ^ | December 7, 2023 | Washington Post Staff
    A coalition of Catholic nuns has filed a lawsuit against gunmaker Smith & Wesson, calling for the company to stop producing AR-style rifles, which the women claim are “the weapon of choice for numerous mass murderers.” The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in a Nevada district court, alleges that Smith & Wesson has repeatedly ignored “red flags” and failed to respond appropriately to mass shootings in the United States. The lawsuit references some of the deadliest mass killings in recent U.S. history — including at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., in 2012; a high school in Parkland, Fla., in 2018; and...

    Nevada rejected a higher number of mail-in ballots in the 2022 election than the final vote margin that decided a close Senate race last year, according to an analysis obtained by The Daily Signal. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, a conservative election watchdog group, found that 8,036 ballots were rejected. Democratic incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto defeated Republican challenger Adam Laxalt by 7,928 votes. So, 108 more votes were rejected than the final tally that separated the two candidates. The analysis also found that 95,556 ballots—almost 5% of those listed on the state’s active voter lists—were sent to undeliverable addresses....

    On January 16, Monday, after coming back from the Industry Day at the Range, before the opening of the SHOT Show on Tuesday, this correspondent was outside in Las Vegas, on Tropicana Avenue, in front of Liquor World, taking a few pictures. The weather was cool, but not cold. It was overcast, without rain. A young black man drove up in a late model sporty car, parked, got out, and entered the store with an openly carried pistol stuck in his waistband. As a writer for AmmoLand, this correspondent knew he had to take action. This correspondent formulated a hasty...

  • ACLU Sue Nye County Nevada for Counting Ballots by Hand and Not Using Questionable Voting Machines

    Years ago the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was a civil rights organization that valued free speech, free thought, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and a free society. Today, the ACLU ignores individual rights and is just another branch of the Socialist left pushing total government control of your life. The ACLU for some reason is suing Nye County Nevada for counting their ballots by hand and not by machine. It’s much harder for Democrats to cheat when they can’t rely on the voting machines. See the 2020 election to find out more. [Linking quote to Las Vegas 5]...
  • Republican Lisa Murkowski Pledges to Vote for Alaska House Democrat over Sarah Palin

    Twenty-one-year incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has said she will vote for Democrat House candidate Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) over Republican challenger former Gov. Sarah Palin. “Yeah, I am,” Murkowski responded Friday when asked by the Anchorage Daily News if she would vote for the Democrat. Alaska uses the ranked choice voting system, which ultimately affords Democrat voters the opportunity to vote for Murkowski on the second and third ballots. Murkowski’s decision to vote for a Democrat is likely intended to attract more votes down-ballot to ultimately defeat Trump-endorsed Senate Republican candidate Kelly Tshibaka, who is leading in the polls...

    She struts across the stage like a rock star, music blaring in the background, camera in hand taking video of the crowd. “Who’s ready to bring the fire to Douglas County?” she yells. The crowd cheers. “Smells like a red wave.” But Republican candidate for attorney general Sigal Chattah is no rock star. Her greatest hits (or misses, depending on your perspective) include declaring her opponent, Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Black man, “should be hanging from a f–king crane”; longing for fewer “pronoun badges” and transgender individuals in America, while describing them with an offensive slur; and inviting comparisons...

    Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak and the State of Nevada launched a website that provides information about abortion and encourages Nevadans to report Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) if they are “concerned about misleading services.” “As Governor, I am committed to ensuring Nevadans have access to reproductive health care without fear or shame,” Sisolak said of the website, according to News 4 & Fox 11. “We will not abandon the right to an abortion, and we will protect those in need of care. This website is one more step forward in this work.”

    Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) was called out by fact checkers for claiming in a campaign ad that her opponent, Republican Adam Laxalt, cheered the loss of Hispanic jobs and businesses. In the ad, Laxalt says, “I think the good news is that now we’re a year, a lot of those jobs never came back, a lot of those Hispanic small businesses never reopened." In Spanish, the add then tells viewers, “Adam Laxalt is not on our side.” A description placed with the ad claims Laxalt called it “‘good news’ that Latino small businesses suffered during the pandemic because he...

    With less than 40 days until Election Day, much attention is being directed toward the US Senate races in Georgia and Pennsylvania. Yet, out west, Democrats are struggling, and one key voter group keeps them up at night, which could impact the party’s performance this cycle. In Nevada, there are troubling signs that a horde of Latino voters could sit this election out. They’re unhappy about the economy and the quality of the job opportunities—which runs counter to the Biden White House’s narrative that this is the most incredible economic recovery of all time. Some operatives are increasingly anxious on...

    Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) left thousands of rape kits untested during her time as Nevada’s attorney general until Republican Adam Laxalt, who formerly held the position and is now running against her for U.S. Senate, secured millions of dollars to clear the backlog and make dozens of arrests. Towards the end of the eight years Cortez Masto spent as Nevada’s attorney general in October 2014, a national nonprofit found that only 16 percent of the 5,231 rape kits collected in Las Vegas were examined from 2004 to 2013 — meaning roughly 4,400 were left untested, as the Washington Free...

    RGA Nevada PAC, an affiliate of the Republican Governors Association (RGA), released an advertisement hammering Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s (D) record ahead of the November gubernatorial election. The television advertisement, titled “Sweetheart Deals,” reportedly has more than $1 million behind it and launches Monday. “Pay-to-play politician Steve Sisolak gifts donors with government contracts…even ones whose COVID tests failed ninety six percent of the time. And Sisolak’s wife took a two hundred and fifty grand, no-bid contract from his cronies while he was governor,” the advertisement states. “Nevadans are still struggling from Sisolak’s lockdowns. Gas, rent, and groceries are crushing their...

    Republican Senate candidate for the state of Nevada, Adam Laxalt has called out the incumbent Democrat, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, for backing President Biden’s far-left FCC nominee Gigi Sohn. Laxalt challenged Cortez Masto to make a choice: stop the Senate confirmation of Sohn as FCC commissioner, or reveal herself to be a supporter of an anti-police radical. “Gigi Sohn, who has a long history of displaying anti-police sentiment, is Biden’s latest nominee for the FCC Commission,” said Laxalt. “My opponent, [Masto] is the deciding vote who can stop this. I am calling on her to stand with law enforcement, not...

    The arrest of a Democratic public official in Las Vegas for allegedly murdering a journalist shocked the nation, but news networks went out of their way to bury his party affiliation. Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the death of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German, who was fatally stabbed in front of his home on Saturday. German's reporting had exposed scandals that plagued Telles, including a hostile work environment and an extramarital affair with a staffer, which was followed by his reelection defeat during a Democratic primary held in June.

    Republican U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt released his second general election political ad on Wednesday, hammering “desperate” incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) for releasing ads that are “deemed false, misleading, and full of defamatory claims that don’t add up by several news outlets.” The ad, entitled “Gutter Politics,” will run on cable and broadcast across the Silver State. The spot focuses on how Cortez Masto’s recent mudslinging ads received false ratings from local outlets, including the Washington Post, which gave them seven “Pinocchio’s” combined. The ad states: Catherine Cortez-Masto is desperate — spending millions attacking Adam Laxalt’s family and...

    Trump-endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt is reportedly on track for his best fundraising period of the election cycle, doubling the campaign contributions of his competitor Sam Brown two months into the second quarter, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show. Laxalt, who is also the former attorney general of the Silver State, brought in more than $1.5 million in contributions between April 1 and May 25, ahead of the June 14 Republican primaries. Comparatively, his closest competitor Sam Brown brought in a little more than $732,000 in that same time frame. Overall, Laxalt has brought in more than $5.8 million...

    Trump-endorsed Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt (R) is hoping to snag Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s (D-NV) seat in November, turn the Silver State red, and have one less Democrat to “rubber stamp” President Joe Biden’s radical agenda. Laxalt, who is the state’s former attorney general, accused his potential Democrat competitor of leaving Nevadans floundering as crime and inflation skyrocket, and as Biden’s non-existent immigration policy allows fentanyl and human trafficking to abound. Speaking to Breitbart News Saturday, Laxalt said Biden was able to take the country “dramatically in the wrong direction” in “a few short weeks” with little pushback...

    Carolina Serrano, a Republican candidate running against Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) in Nevada’s First Congressional District, declared on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday that Nevada is “not a liberal state” and the incumbent is a vulnerable member who can be unseated. Serrano — who paid her way through college working in the hospitality industry and briefly working on Capitol Hill before leading the Hispanic outreach for former President Donald Trump in Las Vegas — spoke to Breitbart News Saturday about her view on immigration, which she is making a large part of her campaign. Serrano explained that immigration is a “total...
