Preemption makes the law invalid. The only local ordinance that was grandfathered in was registration of concealable firearms. It would be nice if law enforcement checked their facts before going public or even worse is having their officers attempt to enforce illegal laws. That will stop after a large enough law suit that drains the city of enough cash to repeal the illegal ordinances.

Famous family story:

Some months after I was born, my dad packed mom & me into the family Chevy for a day trip to the mountains.

We stopped at one of their favorite mountain parks. At some point during our stay, a couple of bikers rolled in. Dad could tell they were trouble, so he packed wife & issue into the car. During the load up, one of the bikers encouraged him to hand over “summa that gook tail” (mom was Asian). The loudmouth biker walked to the car and leaned into the driver’s side window. He found himself looking down the barrel of dad's .357. Loudmouth slowly backed away, and returned to his bike. He and his compadre saddled up and rode off.

No shots fired, no physical altercation, nobody hurt. Just a big stick on display, without comment or bluster.

In Mark Hoyt's world, my dad is the bad guy.

Breyer is 70, and 4 of his colleagues are older than he is (Stevens the Socialist is pushing 90).

Something to keep in mind come November.

I surmise, correctly I might add, that our highest court doesn't want to tinker with our bill of rights and amendments by abridging or qualifying them; otherwise it would establish a dangerous precedent to do the same with the other amemdments aside from the 2nd Amendment.

I am sure their city attorneys are working on new gun laws right now, and ways to get around the SCOTUS decision of yesterday.

NRS268.418 was to fix the problem with NLV gun laws. However, if you call them today they will tell you their law stands. They are extremely belligerence in regards to gun control, and leave the opinion they would prefer a DC type ban on guns.

At the same time they admit they cannot provide 100% citizen protection. Their Police even state (unofficially) that there are court cases that have supported the fact they have no obligation to provide 100% citizen protection. The line officer does their best to provide as much protection as they can, but understand that when seconds count, they cannot respond. No government can provide that protection.

The decision by SCOTUS was correct; we have a right to provide protection within our homes. The response to the decision has pointed out the liberal agenda clearly, remove all firearms if possible. Read the MSM articles, 80% straight liberal line.

Nobody, including liberals look at the problems of violence as really a social problem, meaning want in our society drive the violent behavior? Until we understand our love of violent behavior has to change, the need for personal protection from those who would take your life in a second will always be needed.

Tim Farrell wrote on June 27, 2008 08:07 AM: It has nothing to do with the Supreme Court ruling yesterday, but North Las Vegas's law is void because of Nevada law. NRS 268.418 prohibits all local government in Nevada from establishing firearms laws. NLV enjoyed grandfathered status until the legislature fixed it last year by amending the law with Senate Bill 92. NLV is violating state law if it continues to enforce their voided law after its effective date of 10/31/2007.

Now if we could just get Dumbya to do that!

I am happy that the court upheld the constitution, as far as guns are concerned.

Now they need to go further to protect that "GD piece of paper" (GWB). Especially the illegal search and seazures that happen at airports everyday.
