Is this enough? 50+ dead, 200+ wounded.

36. That's not what happened in Nevada

I've lived in Las Vegas for more than 30 years, and I can tell you exactly what happened.

The anti-check side spent ~$6.6 million - most of it by the NRA. They were outspent 3 to 1 - the pro-check people spent ~$19.8 million:

The pro-check people were running almost continuous adds in the last few weeks of the campaign, including ones that were inaccurate. Hell, the Clark County DA (Steve Wolfson) admitted at a town meeting that the law criminalized a friend loaning a friend a gun, then said it didn't matter because he would never prosecute someone for that:

And after all the money, ads, and inaccurate and misleading information, they won by about 0.5%...

As for the governor not enforcing it, that is because the law was poorly written. The language clearly specified that background checks HAD to be done through the federal system instead of the local Nevada system, because otherwise it would have required them to commit state money to fund it and they didn't think it would pass if it cost the state money. The FBI refused to carry out checks because federal law requires that background checks be either an all-federal or all-state system, and Nevada already had a state system in place that was capable of doing it. So, if they can't be done through the federal system, and the law prevents using the state system, it's unenforceable, and thus null and void. The truly ironic part is that it CAN'T be modified for 3 years, according to the state constitution, so they're stuck with a useless bill until at least 2020.

You got any other inaccurate information?
