National gun control group takes aim at Second Amendment-supporting Nevada sheriffs

A Washington D.C.-headquartered gun control organization is expanding its probe to find out if gun rights groups had anything to do with the recent trend of “Second Amendment sanctuary” counties throughout several different states.

According to a Tuesday report from the Associated Press, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has sent out multiple public records requests to several local officials in the state of Nevada.

These Nevada Public Records Act (NPRA) requests were sent out to county commissions in Lyon, Douglas, Elko, and Nye Counties, as well as the sheriffs in Pershing, Eureka, and Nye Counties, and demand all communications related to the decisions to declare sanctuary status in their counties, including communications with representatives from gun rights groups.

A statement from Brady Campaign president Kris Brown said that the sheriffs and counties “have gone rogue” in their efforts to fight gun control legislation. “We are committed to shining a light wherever necessary to ensure that our communities are safe from gun violence, and you can rest assured that we will get answers to our questions.”
