Vegas shooting could create push for Nev. gun legislation
By Sean Whaley and Ben Botkin, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Just as the Sandy Hook school shooting prompted efforts to regulate gun policies in Nevada in 2013, the mass shooting in Las Vegas on Oct. 1 will likely result in a new push when the Legislature convenes in 2019.
As one lawmaker described it, the gun lobby will be on steroids in the 2019 session.
But even in the wake of the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, it remains to be seen whether the Oct. 1 attack that killed 58 people and wounded 489 more prompts changes in Nevada law.
