Statewide Ballot Question 1 - The Background Check Initiative

Statewide Ballot Question 1 - The Background Check Initiative 

Question 1 proposes to amend various sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes to require that a background check be conducted by a licensed dealer before a firearm is transferred from one unlicensed person to another unlicensed person (private-party sales) under certain circumstances. Question 1 also establishes criminal penalties for violations of these provisions by unlicensed persons who sell or transfer firearms.
