Nevada DID have such a provision as cited in the ILA bulletin above. Did you read that?
From the ATF bulletin:
"However, even though the GCA was amended in 1986 to allow the sale of long guns to residents of any State pursuant to the conditions cited above, many States have not yet amended their laws to reflect similar language."
Nevada amended their laws in 2011 according to the ILA release. I lived there for several years and actually looked up the respective law in the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Some states may have been permissive. Nevada was not one of them.
Here is the text of the Nevada statute that was repealed:
597.910 Sales of rifles and shotguns to residents of Nevada
and contiguous states in accordance with federal law.
1. Residents of the State of Nevada may purchase rifles and
shotguns in states contiguous to Nevada if:
(a) Such residents conform to the applicable provisions of the
federal firearms control law (18 U.S.C. §§ 921 et seq.) and any
regulation promulgated thereunder.
(b) Such residents conform to the provisions of law applicable to
such a purchase in Nevada and in the state where the purchase is
made.
2. Residents of a state contiguous to the State of Nevada may
purchase rifles and shotguns in Nevada if:
(a) Such residents conform to the applicable provisions of the
federal firearms control law (18 U.S.C. §§ 921 et seq.) and any
regulation promulgated thereunder.
(b) Such residents conform to the provisions of law applicable to
such purchase in Nevada and in the state where such persons reside.
There is not one single prohibition in that statute. It was PERMISSIVE ONLY. The ATF Newsletter states:
if the laws of a given State allow its residents to acquire a long
gun in a contiguous State, those laws also allow its
residents to acquire a long gun in any other State
where the laws of that State permit such
transactions,
unless the language contained in that
State’s law expressly prohibits it residents from
acquiring a firearm outside that State.
In the Nevada statute there NEVER were any EXPRESS PROHIBITIONS.
This is the problem that we face. We have enough prohibitions and restrictions that actually do exist, for real, in statutes and regulations. We have no need for LEO's, CCW Instructors, gun shop employees, and mistaken private citizens to perpetuate false restrictions that don't exist, such as Rob1109's post #6 and your own post #15.
