(The Center Square) — After passing along party lines, a bill to raise the age for buying semi-automatic guns heads to Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo’s desk for what could be a veto.
Assembly Bill 245 would raise the minimum purchasing age of assault rifles and semi-automatic shotguns to 21 from 18. Despite its passage, the bill looks unlikely to become law because Lombardo vetoed a similar bill in 2023.
“We have seen far too many shootings from people who are under 21, who get their hands on assault rifles and go out and kill,” said Assemblymember Sandra Jauregui, D-Clark County, who introduced the bill, at a March joint meeting of the Senate and Assembly judiciary committees.
